"It's A Scandal!" - England's Homeless Children Problem

Mon, 08/26/2019 - 04:15

New estimates from the Children's Commissioner's Office for England have
revealed that, in addition to the official figure for child homelessness
of 124,000 there are thought to be around 92,000 children 'sofa surfing'
in the country.

Statista's Martin Armstrong notes that the report, 'Bleak Houses' also
found that the temporary accommodation of families and children is often
not fit for human habitation with shipping containers, office blocks and
B&Bs being re-purposed to house them.

Commenting on the findings, Children's Commissioner Anne Longfield said:

"It is a scandal that a country as prosperous as ours is leaving
tens of thousands of families in temporary accommodation for long
periods of time, or to sofa surf."

On the reasons for the current situation, Polly Neate, chief executive
of charity Shelter blamed "a cocktail of punitive welfare policies, a
woeful lack of social homes and wildly expensive private rents mean this
is frighteningly commonplace."

Nothing unfit for human habitation about those when done properly.
