This is a national disgrace.

The homelessness crisis isn’t an unavoidable fact of life, it’s the direct result of political choices made by those in power. And as those choices have been made, they can be unmade. But only if we’re organised and willing to fight for it.

We are.

'You are a person that I am satisfied can cope and function reasonably well with ‘day to day’ living and this would, I believe, still be the case if you were to become homeless or to remain homeless.”

This is genuinely disgusting. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

2023 was the worst year for homelessness caused by Section 21 evictions - and we still don't know when they'll finally be scrapped

Head over to generationrent.org/take-action/ to help make renting fairer for all. 🚨‼️

Homelessness caused by section 21 has been the highest it has ever been 🚨

We are urging the government to strengthen protections for renters when the House of Lords debates the Renters (Reform) Bill, so evictions don't cause so much hardship, stress and homelessness

This is what a lack of regulation looks like, a landlord has the power to kick you out and find someone who can afford to pay 30% more.

This behavior has no room anywhere, let alone the private housing sector. It's extortionate and dangerous.

'They promised this five years ago'

Hear how Ben Twomey explains the weaknesses of the Renters Reform Bill.

I should be on BBC London this evening after 6:30, talking damp and mould in rented homes for Generation Rent.

This thread is really insightful, the fight for fair housing won't stop until we get a good deal 👇

Great to see Lewis Goodall take on temporary accommodation - the number of people, including children stuck in these unsafe homes ought to be a national scandal.

High, unregulated and inflated rents are backing ordinary people into a corner.

Either we pay up or we pack up.

'Nothing for the tenants everything for the landlords.'

Hear Generation Rent's policy and public affairs manager, Conor, talk about how this bill is bigger than point scoring. It impacts the lives of millions‼️👏

Without abolishing Section 21, we will not see a real change in renting.

We will still live under fear, landlords will still hold a lot of the power. 🫤

' #Housing is a hugely contentious issue,' says @justinwelby, Archbishop of Canterbury, from the launch of our #HomesForAll vision this week.

But through cross-party commitment to long-term, system-wide change, we can design a better future for England’s homes.
