Shelter's report shows that over 354,000 people are homeless in England, a 14% rise, showcasing the urgent need for affordable housing solutions.
Polly Neate emphasized the devastating impact of homelessness on children, stating, 'None of us get our childhoods back, do we? The impact it has on your childhood is devastating.'
The chief executive of Shelter pointed out the alarming trend: 'This rise has been happening year on year for the seven years I've been at Shelter and the number of children who are homeless has also increased every year.'
The report's findings led Neate to declare that the ongoing crisis is fueled by rising private rents and a severe lack of affordable housing options.
