However, with eight thousand homeless children in temporary housing, many are placed miles from their original schools, causing financial strain for families. Eight MPs, including Debbie Abrahams, have publicly supported the campaign, emphasizing the need for equal access to education. Mayor Burnham has confirmed that the proposal is being examined as part of the Greater Manchester Combined Authoritys budget for the upcoming financial year, with a final decision expected in January.
