More than 3 million households across the country are
living on a knife-edge where a small drop in income could cost them their home,

surviving on low incomes while paying unaffordable housing costs, putting them
under huge financial pressure. The research paints a worrying picture of families
pushed close to breaking point, with further statistics showing that more than
1 in 10 working families in England have had to sell possessions to cover their
housing costs. Read more on the Shelter website.
