Children in temporary accommodation
The report by the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee on this subject shows over 164,000 homeless children are currently living in temporary accommodation across England. Some families are in such accommodation for years without a settled home offer, due to the chronic shortage of social and affordable housing. London boroughs spend a combined total of £4 million per day on temporary accommodation.
London Councils, representing London’s boroughs, has commented on that as here.
