'Worst place I've lived': Vulnerable left in unsafe homes

Quick Summary:

Vulnerable people have been left living in homes which have been deemed unsafe, the BBC has discovered.

Vulnerable people with care needs are living in "beyond disgraceful" homes because the government has so far failed to enforce a new law, MPs and charities claim.

Even if the law is enforced, the National Housing Federation (NHF) said it would not solve "extreme financial challenges caused by severe cuts to funding, combined with rocketing inflation and increasing operating costs".
