A leading housing charity made the call on World Homeless Day at a time more than 10,000 children are stuck living in temporary accommodation.
Shelter made the call to mark World Homeless Day at a time more than 10,000 children are stuck living in temporary accommodation across the country.

"We can’t keep asking those on the frontline of the housing emergency to do more with less and expect a positive outcome. If there’s no new money to match the new duties in the housing bill then we can reasonably assume that councils, and the families at risk of losing their homes, are being left in limbo by a system that creates homelessness by design."
"That's why we will introduce a package of measures to support as many people as possible to stay in their homes and communities.
