Even in greater Manchester where there is the ‘bed every night’ scheme, it can’t be done.
Some refuse and others find it more chaotic/dangerous than being on the street.

The person I spoke to won't stay in free shelters, her phone got stolen and she said addicted people make it difficult to sleep, some are also aggressive. A few others are the same, at least the Belfastians are generally sound and give food/money.
Of course treatment for drug addiction is another area the UK is not great at...
