UK - Hidden homeless women are being missed from official figures, charities warn
by Michael Buchanan, 6/9/2026
Excerpt: "While the official government snapshot for autumn 2025 found 733 women were rough sleeping on a single night across England, the charities' research found almost double that number had slept rough in the previous three months in the boroughs they patrolled.
"The census total includes 162 female rough sleepers in six local authority areas where the official data recorded none."

I had to edit this because I'm scared and not thinking well. Please #help me. It's getting late and I'm stuck at 16/48 needed for a safe place to sleep tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. I only need three nights now.
I'm amjnw at #Venmo and #Cashapp. I only need 48 more dollars. I have a #Paypal link now. Please dm me for that.

#MutualAid #MutualAidRequest. @[email protected] @mutualaid I need help paying for a campground for a few nights this week. It costs US$16.00 to stay one night. My Venmo and Cashapp username is amjnw. It's not safe for me at the church anymore.
0 / US$48.00 I have a #Disabled permit so I get a 50% discount. This will give me three nights.
Someone that uses the safe parking space pulled up next to me this morning at another state park we both hang out at during the day and took a photo of my car and I. I'm not safe to go back to the church until the situation can be resolved.
A guy from the church showed up Saturday morning and talked to that other parker. I have no idea what they talked about, but the guy from the church came over and talked to me immediately after.
Now it seems like that other parker thinks I precipitated the church guy talking to him.
A local church runs a safe parking area that I've been using. An unfamiliar car was in the middle of the lot when I arrived. They watched me pull in and took at least one photo of my car and I. They left after a few minutes.
A little more than an hour later, another car pulled in to the lot. Someone jumped out of the car and the driver of the car started doing donuts in the lot. They went around several times then left.
This sucks so much. I don't feel safe here now. The church has cameras watching the property. I've parked directly front of one tonight, but that's not gonna do anything in the moment if someone comes through and does anything. I really don't want to be woken up by windows in my car being smashed.
It all feels like targeted harassment. But of who? Me? The other two people that park here? The church for allowing the parking? I don't know anyone here except at the places where I've been receiving services.
This is the only safe parking space in the area. I don't have anywhere else to go.
Ice cream in the middle of the night,
Padding down the familiar hallway in my socked feet,
Reaching into the cupboard for my favorite bowl,
My favorite spoon, the one that doesn't really match the others in the drawer,
This simple and profound pleasure, ice cream in the middle of the night.
This is a poem about how thankful I am to not be homeless anymore. 🌸
