Local councils have placed more than 15,000 homeless people in emergency accommodation, such as hotels, student flats and bed and breakfasts, since March.
The family had to move out of their first temporary flat, as it was infested with bed bugs, but their latest accommodation is not much of an improvement, says Jenny, and she is worried about the impact it is having on her children."I have bought presents for the kids. I am going to try and make it Christmassy for them. I have got a little £2 tree."
According to Shelter's analysis, 68% of all homeless people living in temporary accommodation are in London, which amounts to 1 in 52 of the city's population.
hrw Pity the little children!
Nice work hrw
City like london can’t meet needs of its own children is utter madness. So sad that a city with so much wealth can’t provide for its most vulnerable. London you be ASHAMED
