You're completely right about the different attitudes towards older homeless people, and if I am elected tomorrow (is it really that close?!) I will be a strong supporter of the right to decent housing and a second chance to education for everyone.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your work for the election - you've raised the profile of so many issues and have made me, if no-one else, determined to do something about it. Hi Jamie,

Thanks for posting. You’re completely right about the different attitudes towards older homeless people, and if I am elected tomorrow (is it really that close?!) I will be a strong supporter of the right to decent housing and a second chance to education for everyone.

Congratulations on your work for the election - you’ve raised the profile of so many issues and have made me, if no-one else, determined to do something about it.

Young people have the same fears and worries that i do but it seems the older more mature person who has spent most of his life on the streets.Change for this type of person is remarkably hard and although there are certain things in place to help with that change. It's only the tip of the ice berg.<BR/>I am speaking from exprience.I had so many difficulties getting in to education that i almost gave up. Getting accomodation was even harder as my previous record showed that i was a former drug addict and paying rent might be a problem but i was lucky, someone took a chance i got in to a hostel. and the rest is history. so what i would say to you is older more mature homeless people find it harder than younger people to get the help that is needed and i strongly believe they have the right to be allowed to integrate themselves back into society Hi, I’m sorry that i have not got in touch with you but as you know i have been putting other candidates around the country on the spot.
