Every year shelters open in London between November and April to help homeless people during the cold period -- however after this the shelters close leaving people like Peter back on the streets again.
Listen to Peter's story, a homeless sheet metal welder, to see how being homeless really can happen to any of us. Peter is not a drug addict, alcoholic or suffering any addiction and people like him CAN'T get the vital help they need because of it.
It's the same in the United States -- only worse. Just try to get some help from social services or the Veterans Administration if you're not high or drunk. Go ahead. Try.
