Modular housing chosen as solution for temporary homes in London
The Mayor of London has announced an investment of £11 million for temporary modular homes to help homeless families in the capital. There are currently more than 54,000 homeless households living in temporary accommodation in London, more than four fifths of whom are families with children. Temporary accommodation typically means privately rented flats, and can also include B&Bs and hostels. It is often expensive and can force families to move from their local area.
