📈 Rents are soaring...
📉 but housing support isn't keeping up.
This is leaving people facing homelessness, or living in cold, mouldy, unsafe homes.
It's so wrong. We're calling for urgent action to properly support people to access the homes they need. 💚

But the thing is, lots of people who need food banks HAVE JOBS.
Bills are rising, rent is sky-high – and wages just don’t cover it all. Even when income is topped up by Universal Credit, people still don’t have enough money to survive.

Despite having a full-time job, many people are having to turn to food banks just to get by.
Rents are sky-high, our social security system isn't providing the support it should, and food prices have risen by a THIRD in 5 years.
It doesn't have to be like this.
