Shelter Scotland has warned. that 5300 youngsters will wake
up on Christmas Day in poor quality temporary accommodation with no
prospect of a permament home.
Shelter Scotland director Graeme Brown said: "It's easy to think of homelessness as single people sleeping rough. What people don't often consider is the rising numbers of families who, through no fault of their own, have lost their home and have no permanent roof over their heads. For people with children, sofa surfing with friends and family just isn't a realistic option and the temporary accommodation they are forced to stay in is often unsuitable and of poor quality."
