Braverman claims rough sleeping is 'lifestyle choice' amid plans to crack down on street tentsHomelessness charity Shelter hit out at the home secretary's comments saying "no one should be punished for being homeless" and blamed the number of rough sleepers on the streets of England on "failed government policy" - not lifestyle choices.In a thread shared to X, formerly known as Twitter, Ms Braverman claimed many rough sleepers are "from abroad" and that there was no need to live on the streets, suggesting there are plenty of alternative options.Soaring private rental fees - which are at an all-time high - coupled with the cost of living crisis has left many in Britain facing eviction as they are unable to keep up with rent or find accommodation that is affordable.Shelter pointed out those factors, adding that the "housing emergency boils down to people not being able to afford to live anywhere."This... combined with decades of government failure to build genuinely affordable social homes is what is driving record levels of homelessness and leaving thousands of people on the streets."
