We can't shake this off 👯 The UK housing crisis, including the lack of social housing, is driving homelessness to unprecedented levels 🏡 By demanding better, we can help end homelessness for good 💙 #EndingHomelessness #TheConnection

At the centre of the #HousingEmergency is a lack of social homes. 90k new social homes a year for 10 years would be enough to house every homeless household and clear most social housing waiting lists. Our NEW report sets out a plan on exactly how the govt can achieve this. 🧵

Every meal, shower, laundry load and more helps us support people on their journey home The process can be slow but with consistent support we can build trust with those sleeping rough Thank you to all our supporters who made this work possible 💙 #TheConnection

Often, homelessness is more than one night out It can be a years-long, back-and-forth journey But we stick with people and don’t give up, supporting people to find their own way home #TheConnection #EndingHomelessness
