Although Westminster has made a commitment to build more social homes, this is not helping the record numbers of people trapped in temporary accommodation right now.
The Government must restore housing benefit this autumn to cover the true cost of renting.

Now-poet laureate Simon Armitage spent eight years as a probation officer – trying to "make life tolerable for people" to prevent them from reoffending.
Today, he’s published a new ode to this work – A Life in the Day Of. Read it here ⤵️

People in #Liverpool! Please come and show your solidarity, just outside Cofee Lodge, at 57 Lodge Lane, L8 0QE.
SERCO is threatening to move one of our sisters out of her home of many years. She is not going anywhere and it would be great if you can show your solidarity, even just for an hour!

The numbers don't add up.
Homelessness is rising, yet we’re still losing more social homes than we’re building.
The Govt wants to build 1.5m homes👏 That must include funding in the spending review to cover building 90,000 social homes annually.

The MCHLG impact assessment on Renters' Rights Bill puts the core cost to landlords at £22 per property per year over 10 years (though then saving £9 per property per year in letting agent costs). So £13 per year.
