thousands of middle-class families are forced to bunker down on mattresses as economic crisis bites
People are spending all their benefits on having a motel room for a third of the month
Experts say that these families are from 'the boom suburbs that have now gone bust'
Thousands of middle-class U.S. families are being forced to sleep on floors in public buildings because so many have lost their homes and jobs in the economic crisis.
These shelters were once the preserve of drug addicts and alcoholics but now normal Americans are having to bed down in halls and corridors as they have no other place to go.
An investigation has also found many from the Midwest are spending their benefits to stay in motels for up to ten days a month to avoid having every night on mattresses surrounded by dozens of strangers.
Experts say that these middle-class people are from 'the boom suburbs that have now gone bust'.
