Rents are up. Benefits aren’t. It’s that simple. If Rachel Reeves wants to stop rising homelessness, she needs to unfreeze Local Housing Allowance at the Budget.
Abel is now in a safe home and working towards his future.

That’s why he wants to send this message to the Chancellor: unfreeze housing benefit so everyone can access the safe home they need to fulfil their potential.

If you agree with Abel, take action now: bit.ly/3V1d76a [4/4]

Earlier this week, we gave important evidence on a Parliamentary Inquiry into black homelessness.

We shared research from our 'My Colour Speaks Before Me' report, while Peer Researcher Uche shared her powerful lived experience.

Our voices are clear: we need a fairer housing system.

🚨 New analysis alert!

Our latest modelling shows that living standards are still set to fall across this Parliament up to November 2029.

However, actions taken at the Budget have made this decline less pronounced *by more than half* for low-income households.

🏠 Breaking: The Renters’ Rights Bill has passed! A landmark moment for tenants in England — stronger protections and fairer rights are on the way. This is a big step toward safe, secure homes for everyone.

Rents have increased by a fifth in recent years since Local Housing Housing allowance was frozen, up £210 a month!!

The strain of this freeze on private renters is immense; in April around 40% of private renters in receipt of LHA said they didn't have enough to cover rent.

Abel’s experience is too common among the people we support.

He experienced homelessness for five months. Because housing benefit did not cover the cost of rent, he couldn’t find anywhere he could afford.

His message to the Chancellor: fix housing benefit on 26 November. [1/5]
