Record levels of homelessness among families and children strain local authority finances
Conclusion
It is a source of national shame that cases of homelessness, particularly among families and children, are at record levels and continue to rise. This is placing considerable strain on the finances of local authorities. We repeat the findings of our report of earlier this year, England’s Homeless Children: The crisis in temporary accommodation. (Conclusion, Paragraph 120)
