Crisis responds to a record number of children in temporary accommodation
New figures released today by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government show that a record 135,580 households are stuck in temporary accommodation like hostels, often for months and sometimes years, instead of a more permanent and stable home.
In response to these new figures, Matt Downie, Chief Executive at Crisis, said:
"Behind today’s figures are families and individuals whose lives are being put on hold while they're forced to spend months or even years trapped in temporary accommodation. Although government action has reduced the number of families in B&Bs - one of the worst types of temporary accommodation - homelessness overall has continued to rise, leaving tens of thousands of children growing up in unsuitable conditions and restricting their life chances."
Crisis offers a gateway to support someone out of homelessness for good.
