Welcome for housing pledge - but is it too late for some?
Government's pledge to build 1.5 million new affordable homes welcomed by housing charities, but some, like homeless mother Danielle and her children, feel it may be too late. Despite the promise of £39bn funding over 10 years for social and affordable housing in England, many families still face housing shortages. London, for instance, has experienced a 10-year high in social housing waiting lists. Danielle hopes the government's investment will provide better prospects for her children's future, even though securing a permanent home remains uncertain for her family.
