Appeal: Get in touch about homeless hostels and B&Bs in Islington
The number of people living in hostels and B&Bs is on the rise - Credit: Archant
The Gazette would like to hear from people living in temporary accommodation in Islington - such as hostels or bed and breakfasts.
Government figures show the number of families without a permanent home in the borough has fallen in the last five years.
This is against a backdrop of rising private sector rents and a burgeoning housing crisis in the capital.
Do you have a story to tell? What are conditions like in hostels, B&Bs or short-term bedsit accommodation?
We would also like to hear from anyone who has been asked to move to a temporary or permanent home outside of the borough.
You may also want to watch:
This might be temporary housing in another part of London or permanent housing in another part of the country.
What are the implications of such a move away from work, schools, or family?
