Show Notes

The housing crisis is a vast web of overlapping problems and failings. It’s a feature of modern Britain.

But as the economy flounders, the crisis takes new forms, dragging more people in. And the impact on those caught in its grasp is devastating.

In this week’s episode of The i Podcast we are joined by our housing correspondent Vicky Spratt who has uncovered a scandal about how mothers and children are being treated by the very authorities they have turned to for help.

Produced by Albert Evans and edited by Julia Webster.
