TENTANG EPISODE INI
More than 165,000 children are currently estimated to be living in temporary accommodation as more and more families find themselves homeless. This often means living in unsuitable accommodation or moving away from friends and family for periods that most would not consider temporary. Councils are struggling to keep up with demand and the crisis is putting severe pressure on their budgets.
In this episode of The Local Authority, the podcast from LGC, recorded before the government published its homelessness strategy at the end of last year, we explore what can be done to alleviate the situation and provide relief for families and council budgets.
Head of content Kirsty Weakley is joined by Tom Stannard, chief Executive of Manchester City Council, Laura Neilson chief executive of the Shared Health Foundation and Jamie Carswell, director of housing and safer communities at Greenwich RBC.
