Six Years Old and Homeless
The 麻豆社鈥檚 Social Affairs Correspondent Michael Buchanan meets Koby and his family, who've been living in temporary accommodation, after they were evicted by their landlord.
Koby is a typical 6-year-old boy. But he鈥檚 living an unusual life.
For the past six months, he and his family have been homeless - after their landlord decided to sell the property they were renting. Koby, his mum Lily, and one-year-old brother Isiah have been living in hotels, moving out weekly. Some days, they don't know where they'll be sleeping that night.
Now - the family are living in temporary accommodation - a one bed flat in Bristol, but they could get moved out at any minute.
Koby is just one of more than 125,000 homeless children in England - thousands of whom are staying in hotels, bed & breakfasts or other unsuitable properties.
For 5 Minutes On, the 麻豆社鈥檚 Social Affairs Correspondent Michael Buchanan spoke to Koby, a conversation that offers a rare insight into what it鈥檚 like to live like this.
