The visual metaphor of a cardboard box turned into a coffin dramatically illustrates the fact that homeless people "die 30 years younger" than the national average, according to a BBC report. Homelessness is a silent killer. Reported by the The Guardian, "the average death of a homeless person is 47, (43 for homeless women), compared to 77 for the average general population."

But for far too many people home remains a distant dream, as they try to eke out an existence in sub-standard accommodation or sleep rough on the streets.
