In late winter 2017 I was struck with what I thought was a simple question… how many people were dying while homeless? It turned out nobody knew the answer - so I set out, with colleagues around the country, to find out.  In this episode I dissect one of my own investigations, focusing on the reporting process around one man’s death.  I go deeper and tell more of these stories in my new book No Fixed Abode: Life and Death Among the UK's Forgotten Homeless. The book is on sale now in hardback and audiobook form. https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Maeve-McClenaghan/No-Fixed-Abode--Life-and-Death-Among-the-UKs-Forgotten-Homeless/24568143  https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/No-Fixed-Abode-Audiobook/1529023742  The project has now been taken over by Museum of Homelessness, you can read and support their work, or let them know of any deaths, here: https://museumofhomelessness.org/  If you want to support organisations working with and for those experiencing homelessness, you might look at: https://www.streetskitchen.org/  https://hobstafford.co.uk/ https://www.streetlink.org.uk/  https://www.crisis.org.uk/ Hosted and produced: Maeve McClenaghan Theme music: Dice Muse   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
