A Shelter investigation today reveals ‘shocking’
conditions experienced by homeless families, as government figures show that
80,000 children in Britain will be homeless this Christmas. For many this means
emergency housing in B&Bs, where children face particularly difficult
conditions. Almost half of the families interviewed reported children
witnessing disturbing incidents, including open drug use and threats of
violence. One child was directly threatened by a man in her B&B after an
argument over a shared bathroom. The majority of families interviewed said they
felt unsafe in their emergency accommodation. Read more on the Shelter website.
