“The impact of being homeless on these children’s lives is huge, and it’s a scandal, and it’s a growing problem. So it’s something that we really need to be on the front foot of and really holding the new government’s feet to the fire to have a strategy to deal with this.” – Helen Morgan MP, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Health and Social Care.
Shared Health Foundation held a fringe event at the Liberal Democrat Party Conference on the impact of temporary accommodation on children. In her speech, Helen Morgan MP emphasised the lifelong impact of living in temporary accommodation on children’s health and wellbeing, called for immediate action, as well as a long term solution – safe and secure housing for the people that need it.
