DJ Calvert needs help to get showered and dressed but his carer is withdrawn over a funding shortage.

DJ Calvert told BBC News NI: “I’ve been let down - and I’m not the only one.”

It was proof that Northern Ireland’s health and social care system had “crashed”, said the 49-year-old.

    You can survive easy out here if you can stay sober enough to make a few phone calls and show up to appointments. Most of the homeless crisis is really just a drug crisis.

    I trust that in order to make such such a generalizing and dismissive statement you have some form of qualification or primary experience?

      Yes. I get free healthcare, and I qualify for free food and low income housing. Many of my friends have been homeless and they have had an easy time finding a shelter.

          You sure were getting geared up to put him in his place though, huh? I’m going to just start telling people like you “thank you for your service “
