"WITH an increasing number of families in emergency accommodation, social and private rental supply drying up and a benefits cap around the corner, Croydon's housing system is under intense pressure".
"The number of households living in emergency housing in Croydon has risen six-fold in the last four years, from 61 in 2008 to 441 at the end of 2012".
"The shortage of available housing has contributed to a significant rise in homelessness.
Croydon council received more than 2,200 homelessness applications in the past 12 months and placed 1,470 households in temporary accommodation, of which record numbers are in emergency housing such as hostels and bed and breakfasts".
