As a result, families are being displaced with some Londoners being moved miles away due to a lack of permanent affordable housing in the capital, according to Alicia Walker, Shelter's assistant director for activism and advocacy."We're sending children and families from London to Manchester, but Manchester has the very same problem, then the children and families in Manchester might be moved to Durham...it means we've got a country of displaced people," she says.
Dr Laura Neilson, founder of the Shared Health Foundation which co-chairs the All-Party Parliamentary Group on temporary accommodation, says they want to see children "still have access to education and healthcare" so they "get to live a much more normal childhood than these children are experiencing"."We are asking the government to be more curious about how many children are missing from education because of temporary accommodation," she adds.Felicity Afriyie has lived in temporary accommodation for 21 years with her three children aged 16, 19, and 20.
In that time they have lived in more than 10 houses.Currently, they are living in a one-bedroom hostel in Lambeth, south London.
In previous temporary accommodation, she says her children's journeys to school took two hours.
The 53-year-old says it took so long to do the school run she "spent the whole day" waiting for her children to finish school."If no additional funding is forthcoming, it will force ruthless prioritisation and tough choices elsewhere. Public service leaders are already being asked to find major efficiency savings, and there is a limit to what is realistic."

Duffy's intervention came after several serious incidents, including a mid-air collision in Januaryin Washington DC, in which 67 people died.
