Watch: ‘My kids lost a year of childhood’

Danielle, 33, from West London, has moved four times in a year after being forced out of her home when her landlord sold her flat.

He went to his municipality to get help and was placed in a hotel for several months.

“It was really hard,” he says.

Danielle got in touch via Your Voice Your BBC News and Housing Correspondent Tarah Welsh has been following her story for a year.

Danielle’s three children, Callum, seven, Harper, four, and toddler Cameron, are some of the nearly 170,000 children living in temporary accommodation; this includes hotels and multi-occupation homes (HMOs).

Data due at 09:30 BST will confirm how many people are currently homeless in England.

Danielle’s council, Ealing, said the number of homeless families in the borough was “very high” and they were working hard to “provide more suitable accommodation for families”.

The council has now moved Danielle’s family into a privately rented flat outside London, but it is still not a permanent home.

Thousands of people facing homelessness will be supported with an £84 million “cash boost” this winter, with children and families in temporary accommodation given priority, the government has said.

He said he would spend £1 billion on vital services as a first step to ending homelessness.
