When you fail to build enough social housing and strip away support services, this is what happens.

When will political parties start giving homelessness the attention it needs?

Yesterday our Francesca Albanese was talking to BBC Radio 5 Live about Heidi Dodson, the 57 year-old woman evicted following a Section 21 notice & forced to sleep rough. She also looked at the changes needed to protect private renters & their families.

More than *90,000* households have been served with a Section 21 eviction notice since the Government first promised to ban them way back in 2019.
The UK Government needs to make good on its promise & give renters the protections they deserve. crisis.org.uk/about-us/media…

Why are more than 112,000 households (up 3,000 since making this video) stuck in temporary accommodation in England, and what can we do?

1⃣ We need more truly affordable homes

Increasingly unaffordable housing and the rising cost of living mean that more and more people are at risk of being forced into homelessness.

The next government needs to put things right and urgently deliver more decent, genuinely affordable homes.

Social housing is essential if we are going to #EndHomlessness . It provides a base where people can develop and thrive. And yet 12,000 social homes were lost last year while over one million households remain trapped on council waiting lists.

Good to see Govt moving thanks to pressure, but the key question is whether the nuisance rough sleeping proposals have been removed completely. People sleeping rough are not a nuisance and shouldn't be targeted as such. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…

This week's Supporter Star is Daisy, who recently completed the Winchester Children's Triathlon and raised an incredible £1,165 for Crisis!🌟

Daisy's been worried about people sleeping rough in the winter weather and wanted to help.

Thank you Daisy for making a difference!❤️
