Opening doors for the homeless

THE LATEST draft strategy on homelessness is a disappointment. It sets out important objectives and identifies the need for co-ordinated action, while ignoring the fact that funding has already dried up for key homeless services. The report is broadly progressive and well-meaning. But, in the absence of an administrative reality check and the establishment of specific funding and housing targets it will have little impact.

WHEN MANY subprime borrowers in the US mortgage market defaulted on their loans last year, the result was turmoil in financial markets and a contraction in global credit that is continuing. The subprime market caters for borrowers with poor credit records. The problem that arose in the US stemmed from reckless borrowing by house buyers and imprudent lending by banks and finance houses. As interest rates rose and property prices fell, many homeowners were left holding negative equity and went on to default on their debt.
