Shame, guilt, anger: Children in hubs want homes of their own

“We can no longer allow our children to live with the overwhelming feelings of shame, guilt and anger because they are homeless, through no fault of their own.”

That was the message from the Ombudsman for Children, Dr Niall Muldoon, as his office today publishes ‘There’s No Place Like Home’, a report which gives an insight into the experiences of children living in family hubs — purpose-built or specifically adapted premises to house children and families who are homeless.
