The report from Citizens UK and Trust for London highlights the severe challenges faced by the homeless in temporary accommodation in the city. With over 70,000 households living in makeshift residences, many of which lack basic amenities like cooking facilities and laundry services, families are struggling to cope. The emotional toll is significant, as illustrated by Khadija's experience with her son. Additionally, many families are relocated far from their support networks, complicating access to resources and stability.
"I kept pretending everything was normal and we would get our place one day and be finally happy... spending lots of time outside in coffee shops to stay warm."
"One in 49 Londoners are homeless and in temporary accommodation... families are trapped in what it describes as 'a broken system'... without cooking facilities, reliable internet, or storage for belongings."
