Latest figures condemned as ‘a damning indictment’ of ministerial failures show 260,000 children aged under 10 are uprooted
Nearly 20,000 babies aged under one are living in temporary accommodation in England, new government figures have shown in what Labour called “a damning indictment” of ministerial failures over housing.
The statistics, a one-off additional release to existing homelessness figures, showed that on 30 June in 2023, when the snapshot was taken, 262,430 children aged under 10 were in temporary accommodation.
