The rise in child homelessness figures under a
Conservative government is ‘shameful’, according to Liberal Democrat
Spokesperson for Housing, Tim Farron. As reported by 24housing, 135,000
children in Britain are homeless and living in temporary accommodation – the
highest figure in 12 years, according to a report by Shelter. The report also
highlighted the 5,683 homeless families with children currently living in
emergency B&Bs and hostels – with some London boroughs seeing every one in
12 children as homeless. Read more on 24housing.
