On this week's episode of Going the Extra Mile, Damian McNairney from the People's Kitchen warns that recent statistics showing 58 homeless people have died on Northern Ireland's streets are no surprise to those on the frontline. 

This episode is available to watch in full on ITVX. 

UTV put the points made by Damian to the Department of Communities and they have referred us to recent press releases where the Minister has announced additional funding for homeless services and the launch of New Foundations, and other cross-departmental initiatives.
