It was great to meet with Mike Amesbury MP today to discuss ongoing issues facing the homelessness sector and the policies needed to ensure a home for everyone.

Great to see you today Mike. Thanks for all your support for @HomelesLink members and people experiencing homelessness.

Great to catch up with Homeless Link today to discuss some of the big issues we are facing with homelessness and rough sleeping.

It's really important that everyone has their voice heard this General Election. If you, or someone you know, have no fixed address, you can still register to vote. The government has released new guidelines on this today, which can be found at: bit.ly/4ak0Izt

We're delighted that David Taylor, Labour's Parliamentary Candidate for Hemel Hempstead, will speak at our upcoming webinar, sharing his views on how homelessness organisations can effectively influence prospective parliamentary candidates.

Such sad news…. Steve was a trustee of Homeless Link for 6 years and became a friend. A wonderful, caring, clever guy who had time for everyone he met

Threatening people sleeping rough with fines and prison will stigmatise those of us facing homelessness and make it harder to provide support. Join us and Crisis and contact your MP urging them to stand against these plans. campaigns.crisis.org.uk/page/142013/ac…

We're stepping up our policy and campaigns work at Emmaus UK.

Here are reflections from last week's Homeless Link Riverside Group Parliamentary lobby on what we learnt from the main parties about ending homelessness, and what we need to push harder on👇

New NEF analysis shows that supporting local authorities to buy privately rented properties & repurpose them as social housing could deliver huge long-term savings on temporary accommodation & housing benefit, as well as from wider impacts such as health mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

He said: “You see Diane Abbott on the TV and … you just want to hate all Black women.”

How is that “nothing to do with her gender or the colour of her skin”?

To my recollection, these Frank Hester comments are the most overtly racist [published] remarks by any figure linked to one of the major political parties in this (21st) century.

To say they are not racist much more of an insult than an apology + a big problem of party culture

Good to meet Chris, Amy and Simon from Connection Support & Homeless Oxfordshire as part of the #EndingHomelessnessTogether lobby day.

We talked about how their brilliant outreach and prevention work is supporting those facing homelessness in #Banbury .

Today we attended a Lobby of Parliament organised by Homeless Link and Riverside Housing Association. The lobby - 'Ending Homelessness Together' explored the rising homelessness crisis, and what actions the government can take to make change.

#endinghomelessnesstogether

Such an encouraging day to see so many people lobbying to #EndingHomelessnessTogether . What a great opportunity to meet with Alan Whitehead & voice the urgency & importance of systemic barriers for refugee/asylum seekers & discuss actions to homelessness policy!

Today, the Connection is pleased to launch our key policy asks ahead of a General Election.

Stay tuned over the next few weeks, as we’ll be talking about why we need these changes.

As John Glenton said in the The Independent this afternoon, he was “heartened that politicians from both major parties showed they understand the need for more social homes today”.

“However, words must turn into action'.
