1 in 7 adults in prison were homeless before entering custody, and fewer than half of people released from prison last year had settled accommodation on release.

Phil and Paula have teamed up with the Orwell Foundation and the Centre for Homelessness Impact to bring you this brand news series looking at the intertwined issues of homelessness, social deprivation, crime and justice.

Down, Not Out is the companion podcast to The Orwell Prize for Reporting Homelessness 2023.

Host Sangita Myska, who is also a judge of the new prize, talks to experts and people who've experienced homelessness, to get a better idea of the scale of the problem and how it might be solved.

This episode focuses on the many forms of modern homelessness and their impact.
