61 imagesHomelessness is a vast problem in the UK exacerbated by a growing poverty and shortage of housing. With nowhere to go, millions are forced to live in temporary accommodations and in overcrowded and inadequate conditions whilst on council housing waiting lists. The project Transitional captures these grim realities allowing the viewer into the lives of Britain's hidden homeless: people stuck in hostels, B&B and temporary flats. It represents a dramatic crisis because many are left in temporary, provisional situations for an unacceptable long time. Some had been in limbo for two years or more, and that has a lot of physical and psychological repercussions for them. The impact is great.

86 imagesTransitional Lives and Marginal Homes is an MA project by photojournalist Cinzia D'Ambrosi. In contemporary Britain, millions are on lists for council housing, waiting to realize the dream of entering a permanent home. In the pursuit of what is becoming an utopian concept, people are facing various ordeals, including forced mobility, prolonged temporary accommodations, unacceptable and inadequate housing conditions. Transitional Lives, Marginal Homes is a collection of stories of the last two years of families and individuals describing their misery of living in a transient state and bad housing whilst waiting for a place that they could call home.
