Listen, fair play... Thanks so much for the support! ❤️

The government has invested £39billlion in to social and affordable housing, with an aim of building 180,000 social rent homes over ten year. We believe they must go further - and faster. campaigns.shelter.org.uk/build-more-s...

And here is why building genuinely affordable social rent homes really matters. Housing is increasing unaffordable, meaning people live in bad conditions and there is more homelessness. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s the only fair and humane way to prevent street homelessness.

There's nothing moral about forcing people to sleep in a flimsy tent or freezing cold doorway. Everyone should have the right to suitable emergency accommodation and adequate support: both British nationals and people fleeing conflict and persecution.

Let’s be clear, the housing emergency wasn’t caused by people fleeing conflict and persecution in search of asylum, it was caused by decades of failure to build the genuinely affordable social homes the country urgently needs.

Thousands could be forced into grotty temporary accommodation or have no choice but to spend their nights on the streets.

The government promised a strategy ‘to put Britain back on track to ending homelessness’. But removing support from people already destitute, and pushing them into homelessness, will only make matters worse.

🎬 Heartfelt, hopeful, and a reminder that Shelter helpline advisers are there for families every step of the way in the fight for home. 💌
