I wonder where he goes to hang out when he's not there? Is there somewhere for him and other homeless people to wash, get a decent meal etc? I suppose I should ask him himself.
There's listings for day centres/drop ins here and soup kitchens here. There's not much locally to us though. There's much better provision in Westminster and Camden but services getting funding of any kind from their local councils tend to be forced to be quite strict about only working with people who are bedding down in that borough otherwise they risk having their funding withdrawn. Soup runs and church shelters can be much more flexible but won't have the resources to offer support around addictions, mental health, benefits etc. Some people on here might be interested in this - top ten tips for survival for people sleeping rough.

They also have social workers present each evening doing their best to get homeless guests into permanent accommodation: most years something like 80% are found housing.
Many of the local shelters operate on a seasonal basis and are more likely to be open in winter, so this could explain higher instances of visible homelessness in the summer and during the rest of the year. Winter can mean only 2 or 3 months in this context - I think the local shelter to me is now not opening until January in fact.
