The Lunch Discussion: From Street to Shelter: The Hidden Struggles of Temporary Accommodation in Greater Manchester

As part of a week long focus into homelessness & rough sleeping in Greater Manchester and the UK in general, Rod Maxwell speaks with Christa MacIver of Just Life (https://justlife.org.uk) and Jimmy Dunn of LifeShare (https://www.lifeshare.org.uk/) about the realities of homelessness in Manchester and beyond, focusing on the transition from rough sleeping into temporary accommodation and the support services that help people stay housed.

The episode covers the psychological and practical challenges of temporary housing, the role of charities and volunteers, and the need for coordinated policy and long‑term solutions to prevent people returning to the streets.
