Michael, 33, has been homeless off and on for 10 years in his native Coventry and in London. When TIME spent a few days with him, he was staying at a 'wet' hostel that permits alcohol on the premises. But Michael didn’t think he would be there long: 'There are too many rules.'
Michael likes his room, but resents Broadway’s €12.50 weekly fee.
