EnglandIn 2024, there were over 159,000 children trapped in damaging temporary accommodation. Too many forced to live with black mould, damp, no cooking facilities and zero heating.
They're increasingly accommodated miles away from their friends, schools and community and for much longer than would be considered temporary.
