A report by Citizens UK reveals that over 70,000 homeless households in London are living in temporary accommodation (TA), often lacking basic amenities like toilets and kitchens. The report highlights that many families have been in TA for decades, with some children growing up in these conditions. In stark contrast, elderly residents in their 90s share these spaces, indicating the broad spectrum of individuals affected by homelessness. Local authorities often resort to relocating families outside of their boroughs, exacerbating their challenges and denying them the dignity every individual deserves.
