Hundreds of people were homeless in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin on any given night in 2022, a charity has said.
Shelter says figures estimate 558 people were homeless in Shropshire on any given night in 2022 – including 147 children. Around 531 were in temporary accommodation, while 21 were estimated to be sleeping rough.
"Many dream of owning their own home, the reality is most houses are unaffordable. Renting is the only option but private rents are going through the roof." "Their circumstances are very different. They are living in unfit properties or suffering relationship breakdowns or abuse. Some are unable to pay increases in rent or mortgages. Others are being evicted because their landlord thinks there will be more income from the property as a holiday let or Air B&B. The common factor is that there is a lack of suitable housing for them to move into. We must build more affordable housing quickly.
