Due to a severe housing crisis, pupils are being forced to travel excessive distances—some as far as 45 miles each day—to attend school after their families have been displaced from their homes. Speaking with BirminghamLive, Yasmin explained that children and their families are frequently moved out of rented accommodation or evicted, often being temporarily placed in hotels far from their usual neighborhoods.
