The Government's work to tackle emergency housing appears to be paying off.
Only about 500 families remain in emergency housing after one year of the Government's Priority One policy.
It bumps families to the top of the social housing waiting list if they have dependent children and have spent more than 12 weeks in emergency housing.
Almost a thousand families with more than two thousand children have been moved from emergency housing motel rooms into homes, since the policy took effect

He says under Labour's government, there were more than four-thousand families living in motels permanently.
