It's harder for us all to afford the safe, decent home we all need. More of us are being forced into homelessness.

Will you join me and Crisis to ask the Chancellor to use his autumn statement to help those of us facing homelessness? campaigns.crisis.org.uk/page/137302/ac…

Homelessness is rising, but no political party is making ending homelessness a priority. That’s not right.

I’ve just emailed my MP to ask them to change this. Join me and Crisis to and build a future free from homelessness. campaigns.crisis.org.uk/page/132900/ac…

New National Housing Federation research shows the devastating impact of overcrowding on families’ lives, health & wellbeing. A shortage of affordable homes means this is a reality for too many people. We urgently need a national plan to build more .

More than 1 in 3 private renters rely on housing benefit to pay their rent. Yet despite crippling rent increases pushing them to the brink of homelessness, the UK Govt has ignored them in the Spring Budget and housing benefit remains frozen at 2019 levels bit.ly/3yCNM7c

Yesterday we were in Parliament to share our new report with MPs & Peers & explain how the housing benefit freeze is affecting homelessness. People are struggling to build their lives without the firm foundation of a home and with few affordable options

No one fleeing war should be facing homelessness in the UK. Our CEO Matt Downie has shared with Felicity Buchan MP, Minister for Housing and Homelessness, the direct accounts of two Ukrainian women who spoke last month to the APPG for Ending Homelessness about the challenges they have faced

Today's does nothing for 1.9 million private renters relying on housing benefit to cover their rent. With LHA frozen at 2019 levels & rents rising at their fastest rate in 16 years, more & more people will be unable to maintain their homes bit.ly/3TSCOCY

It’s great to be at the Homes for Cathy conference today hearing from housing associations who’ve made preventing and ending homelessness central to their mission - including everything from Housing First to converting homes to social rent to providing homes for people with NRPF

Great to hear @LisaNandy pledging some much-needed housing reform including a commitment to build the truly affordable homes we desperately need. We need to see the Renters' Reform Bill being expedited and to get on with building 90,000 social homes each year!
