Of all the tough cases she’s heard about, the two-year-old who had problems chewing and swallowing stands out for Una Burns, head of policy and communications at homeless charity Novas.

Novas works with families and single adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness – they’re living in B&Bs, hotels, emergency accommodation, family hubs, in overcrowded situations where they’re involuntarily staying with extended family/friends or are sofa surfing.
