The homeless crisis in the UK continues to grow with shocking new government figures showing that homelessness has rocketed in England since 2010. Data analyzed by homelessness charity Shelter show that 56,600 people accepted as homeless by councils in 2015 was 33% higher than in 2010. RT reports: The charity says that people losing their privately-rented homes is the single biggest cause of the crisis. Last year alone, around 17,000 families reportedly became homeless after being evicted from privately-rented homes.
