Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Homeless people in Brighton are to be given temporary accommodation in converted shipping containers.
The 36 units, linked by a walkway, will be placed on land currently being used as a scrap yard by Brighton Housing Trust who will allocate them to men and women with a connection to the Sussex resort.
Councillor Christopher Hawtree, chairman of Brighton planning committee which has granted permission for five years, said: “I hope this scheme will highlight what is being done to assist those who for one reason or another have been down on their luck and found themselves on the streets.”
