Local authority homelessness workers across the country are struggling against a rising tide of people without stable housing. At the last official count, 83,700 households were in temporary accommodation in England, while thousands sleep rough on the streets.

In this episode of The Housing Podcast, we speak to Westminster City Council and a clinical psychologist about the link between autism and homelessness, and how it is changing their approach.
