As the housing crisis worsens, severe pressure on emergency accommodation is becoming insurmountable. Homeless families are being sent further and further away to bed and breakfasts outside of their hometowns and catchment areas. A huge chunk of their already very low income is being swallowed up by expensive transport costs in order to make sure their children keep attending their local school with their local friends. What is the Government’s policy to provide financial assistance towards the cost of transport for the purpose of homeless children being able to attend their own schools from which they were dramatically shunted?
