More than one in ten children in England are living in
overcrowded homes, with 130,000 families squeezed into one-bedroom flats, the
National Housing Federation (NHF) claims. In a new report analysing government data
the body said around 1.3 million children from more than 600,000 families are
stuck in overcrowded living conditions. A poll carried out by ComRes for the
NHF found more than one in four children in overcrowded homes have to share a
bed with a parent or sibling – affecting up to 368,000 youngsters. One in four
affected adults – as many as 380,000 people – often sleep in kitchens,
bathrooms or hallways. Read more on Inside Housing.
