35,000 Face Loss of Home before Christmas

An estimated 35,000 people across Britain face the prospect of losing their homes between now and Christmas. The warning comes as Shelter’s Christmas campaign shows that every two minutes someone faces losing their home. This could mean an estimated 35,000 people – 630 people a day - will receive a letter threatening the loss of their home between now and Christmas which could see them ending up in court, fighting to keep their home. Shelter’s campaign features six families who were either homeless last Christmas or who are living under the threat of homelessness now. Read more on the Shelter website.
