More than a million households living in private rented
accommodation are at risk of becoming homeless by 2020 because of rising rents,
benefit freezes and a lack of social housing, according to a devastating new
report into the UK’s escalating housing crisis. The study by the homelessness
charity Shelter shows that rising numbers of families on low incomes are not
only unable to afford to buy their own home but are also struggling to pay even
the lowest available rents in the private sector, leading to ever higher levels
of eviction and homelessness. Download the report from the Shelter website.
