"This issue is a national crisis for the UK. Local authorities are on the frontline, but they cannot solve this alone. 165,000 Reasons brings partners together to drive permanent change.”

Nick Kilby, Founder, Cratus Group

“Children need safety, routine and stability. For too many families in temporary accommodation, that is missing. We’re working with 165,000 Reasons to put children’s needs at the centre of the conversation.”

“What families need most is stability: somewhere safe, suitable and secure where children can grow, learn and thrive.”

“Every child should have a home. A place where they are safe to sleep, to play, and to live. Temporary accommodation makes this almost impossible. Time and time again I see families moved away from their support networks, into unsuitable accommodation, that actively harms their health, wellbeing, and future life chances."

"We must do more to ensure that the harms posed to these children are eradicated. Over 165,000 children are living in temporary accommodation, meaning there are over 165,000 reasons to take action and finally stop this scandal. I am pleased to support this cross-sector campaign to ensure that no more children must suffer the consequences of this crisis."

Dr Laura Neilson, Founder, Shared Health Foundation

“L&Q is proud to be supporting the 165,000 Reasons campaign to highlight the urgent steps that must be taken to end the crisis of children living in temporary accommodation.”

“With 1 in 21 children in London living in temporary homes, it is crucial that the housing sector works together to provide safe, affordable, and decent homes for children and their families.”

Fiona Fletcher-Smith, CEO

“A good home is the foundation for a child’s health, wellbeing and future opportunities. But for too many families, temporary accommodation has become anything but temporary, with children growing up in uncertainty and missing out on the basics they need to thrive. We’re supporting 165,000 Reasons because this is a crisis that demands practical, collective action - from government, councils, housing associations, and partners across sectors. We need to improve conditions for families now, while also building more genuinely affordable homes so children can put down roots and look to the future with confidence.”

"Temporary accommodation is no longer a short-term housing issue; it is a long-term social challenge affecting the futures of hundreds of thousands of children. At Clarion, we believe the response must go beyond awareness alone. We need collective action that brings together housing providers, government, charities, communities and partners to share insight, build momentum and develop practical solutions that genuinely reduce the number of children living without the stability of a permanent home."

"That is why we are delighted to support the 165,000 Children Campaign. By caring about the scale of the challenge, uniting around a common purpose and focusing on solutions, we can help create better outcomes and stronger futures for children and families across the country."

Clare Miller , CEO , Clarion Housing Group (and Deputy Chair of G15)

“Behind every number is a child without the stability and security that every family deserves. The fact that more than 165,000 children are growing up in temporary accommodation should concern all of us across housing, development, investment and government.

“This campaign matters because it brings the sector together around a shared responsibility, not simply to manage the consequences of the crisis, but to help solve it. We know the solutions exist. The challenge now is delivering them at the pace and scale families urgently need.

"165,000 Reasons is a call for collective action to create decent homes, stronger communities and better futures for children across the country.”
