Daniel Thomson is homeless and has been “sofa surfing” for four months.
He works 50 hours a week in a chip shop but can’t find an affordable place to stay in his home city of Glasgow.
His only option for now, according to local housing groups, is a spell in one of the city’s homeless hostels.

Homeless charity Crisis said this week that more 18,400 households were in this position each day of 2022. It warned that number is expected to rise by a third by 2026.
Daniel – a father-of-one – was made homeless after a relationship breakdown last year.
He told BBC Scotland News he spends his days wondering where he will spend the night – either with friends or with his ex-partner.
“There is not a limit when you’re desperate but it’s embarrassing to ask to stay at someone’s house for a night or two,” he said.
“It’s not good for your mental health either.”
