Lynsey Hanley tells the story of Rachel and Angus, both in their twenties, who live in a caravan in west Wales due to the shortage of affordable homes in the area.
Every home has a story to tell about Britain's housing crisis. Rachel and Angus would like to live where Rachel grew up in the picturesque village of Solva, Pembrokeshire. But only one property has come up for rent in the past year as the area is popular with second home owners and property prices are high. This leaves Rachel and Angus facing the prospect of another cold winter in their caravan.
But Rachel and other local people are looking at solutions to tackle the crisis. They've banded together to form a Community Land Trust which is hoping to build new affordable homes in the area.
