London is at the centre of the UK’s homelessness crisis, with an estimated 183,000 people – one in every 50 Londoners, including one in 21 children – living in temporary accommodation.
Local authorities with an obligation to shelter the 73,000 households who don’t have a stable roof over their heads are collectively spending £114million a month on hostels, hotels and B&Bs due to a shortage of suitable accommodation.
