Show Notes
New figures reveal Edinburgh as the Scottish city with the highest death rate among homeless individuals, with forty deaths in 2024. Nationally, the total reached two hundred thirty-one. Most victims were men, with the thirty-five to forty-four age group seeing the most losses. Homelessness charities deem these numbers unacceptable, attributing them to pandemic-related surges in rough sleeping and unstable housing. They urge political parties to pledge ending homelessness by 2040 and call for more affordable homes, early support, and smarter spending. Politicians blame housing shortages, drug issues, and overwhelmed services for these avoidable deaths.
