Families Face Horrific Conditions in Temporary Housing Amidst Housing Crisis in England
Fauzia and her family have endured ‘horrific’ living conditions in temporary housing in west London, marked by overflowing sewage and maggots. With a rising number of households in temporary accommodation, the UK government has allocated £1bn for tackling the housing crisis, including support for preventing homelessness. Critics highlight the urgent need for reforms, especially concerning no-fault evictions. Homelessness impacts children’s education and well-being, exemplified by Fauzia’s struggles as she manages her children’s school commutes while facing significant health risks in her living environment.
