The North of England has seen a huge rise in homelessness. This episode of The North in Numbers takes a closer look at Manchester, where the problem is particularly bad.
We spoke to some of those that are sleeping rough on the streets, a young mum housed in temporary accommodation, two of the many local charities striving to make a difference and the Political Editor of the Manchester Evening News.
Written and presented by Annie Gouk.
Produced by and music by Mark Magill.
