The government pledges to stop children growing up in B&Bs and to make childcare more accessible for families on Universal Credit. The plan aims to lift around 550,000 children out of poverty by 2030 and includes scrapping the two‑child benefit cap. England has more than 172,000 children in temporary accommodation, with over 2,000 children living in B&Bs longer than the six‑week legal limit between April and June 2025. Child poverty stands at 4.5 million after housing costs, with three quarters from working families. Homelessness charities welcomed the measures but called for deeper changes.
