'Strong family ties and values' sees fewer Asians homelesspublished at 10:21 Greenwich Mean Time 5 January 2018

BBC News
Only 3% of Asian people in Leicester are homeless despite them making up more than 50% of the city's population, according to a report by De Montfort University.
Help the Homeless, an independent charity, says this is down to "strong family ties and values" and the way the social family structure is embedded within the Asian culture.
Volunteer Arif Vorajee said: "I think it's down to upbringing. The stereotype you hear about, 'oh you're 18 now, go and find your own place'... a lot in the white community, the English community, you don't get that in the Asians.
"The eldest son is expected to stay with the mum and dad to look after them even once he's married - that's why I think the family values and the closeness are always there."
