Watch: 'My kids lost a year of childhood' - Family moved from hotel to hotel in housing crisis

"Danielle, 33, from west London, has moved four times in a year after she was forced out of her flat when the landlord sold up."

"Danielle's three children, Callum, seven, Harper, four, and toddler Cameron are some of the almost 170,000 children living in temporary accommodation, which can include hotels and houses in multiple occupation (HMOs)."

"The government says thousands of people facing homelessness will be supported by an 84 million "cash boost" this winter, and says children and families in temporary accommodation will be prioritised."

A 33-year-old mother from west London moved four times in a year after her landlord sold her flat and was placed in a hotel by the council for several months. Her three children, ages seven, four and toddler, are among nearly 170,000 children living in temporary accommodation, including hotels and HMOs. Ealing council describes the number of homeless families as overwhelming and says it is working to secure more suitable housing. The family has been moved to a privately rented flat outside London that is not yet permanent. The government has pledged an 84 million cash boost this winter and cited 1bn for vital services as a first step to ending homelessness, prioritising children and families in temporary accommodation.
