Today's damning statistics on homelessness, showing a record 145,800 homeless children are living in temporary accommodation - an increase of 15% in the past year, show how the govt is failing on the housing crisis.

We desperately need the govt to build more social housing.

Last week, the govt failed to ban section 21 no-fault evictions. Today it's been revealed that 2023 saw the highest number of households facing homelessness as a result of Section 21 evictions since records began in 2018.

It's time for the govt to ban Section 21 evictions.
