While the winter night shelter was housing people who local authorities do not have a statutory duty to help, the cost of housing those ‘in priority need’ rose to $33,876.77 (£22,000) a month.
Compared with other towns, the homelessness problem in the Horsham district is small, but it still cost Horsham District Council between $24,637.65 (£16,000) and $33,876.77 (£22,000) a month during winter to house vulnerable homeless people in bed and breakfast accommodation.
