If there's one piece of research that came out in the last year that I think all housers should read, it is probably this brief.
*Affordable AND available* and the need for more income-restricted *deeply* affordable housing for those most vulnerable to housing instability, eviction, & homelessness.
*Affordable AND available* and the need for more income-restricted *deeply* affordable housing for those most vulnerable to housing instability, eviction, & homelessness.
Building more #homes does not guarantee affordability or access for people with low incomes. This Urban Wire post breaks down why affordable #housing matters—and how smart #policy solutions can help. https://urbn.is/4nFYf9r

You would think we'd be on track to freedom, given @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social, the Ministry of Housing himself, is our local MP.

It is very hard to see how the UK government can sign this statement, which makes it absolutely clear that it recognises that Israel is committing - as a matter of state policy - deliberate and systematic war crimes, without at a minimum cutting all military cooperation with Israel.

Indeed. There’s a whole literature on the inequality of housing wealth. In regard unequal access to homeownership and assets now, and implications for retirement and sky rocketing pensioner housing benefit bill as people can’t afford to buy now.
