It comes as Birmingham is caught in the grip of a housing crisis with more than 23,000 households waiting for a property. This figure includes nearly 5,000 people who are living in temporary accommodation. The shelter is kitted out with cupboards, chairs, carpet, bins, bedding and Super Mario Bros-themed makeshift curtainsCouncil areas in England with the most number of rough sleepers
