We had an APPG meeting in Parliament today, discussing how a Notification System for Homeless Families could improve the lives of thousands of families living in temporary accommodation.

Dr Laura Neilson from @SharedHealthGM explains that 55 children have died unexpectedly while living in temporary accommodation in England since 2019 and warns the number of child deaths is likely to increase. Watch the full evidence session: parliamentlive.tv/event/index/6f…

Fantastic to meet @SarahOwen_ who visited our Oakley House development in Luton and spoke with some of our residents, including Shevon who lives in Hightown's 9,000th home! #ukhousing #Luton

Housing should be fundamental in developing the gov's VAWG strategy. Domestic abuse is the 2nd most prevalent reason that homeless households are owed a relief duty and yet still the lack of affordable and stable options for accommodation prevents victims leaving their abuser.

Thanks to over 100 homelessness organisations of all sizes from across the country and to National Housing Federation for signing our letter to Rachel Reeves on the National Insurance rise, helping ensure the acute concerns of essential services are heard. homeless.org.uk/news/110-homel…
