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.
