Building more homes – particularly social housing. Investing in local authorities. Strengthening renter protection, as the Government intends to do in the Renters Rights Bill. And reviewing the TA Subsidy Rate, which hasn’t changed since 2011, are all necessary.

This is a devastating analysis of the ‘absurd’ temporary accommodation crisis in England. Thanks Jack Shaw for such a thorough piece. All eyes on the budget.

Great to hear dedicated funding of £230m to tackle homelessness & rough sleeping too #Budget2024, pleased to see this is a priority. It'll be vital to integrate approaches on homelessness with delivering more social homes as Government has also promised

A pleasure to be at the FareShare 30th anniversary event in Parliament today. Crisis will always be proud of our role establishing the organisation, but long for the day when neither of us are needed.

Thanks to BBC Radio 4 for having me on World at One to talk about the record rough sleeping figures announced today. It’s time for a full-scale, long-term plan to end homelessness.

What a good idea. Very glad to see this being considered. It would allow a more inclusive honours system. For more: excellencenotempire.co.uk

No child should be forced to grow up in a B&B - we need to act now to take pressure off the homelessness system. That means building more social homes, and it means pushing on with plans to prevent homelessness from happening in the first place dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

Dear Kekius Maximus, thanks for your input. We’d love to introduce you to any of the 10,000 people experiencing homelessness that we work with. You’ll be surprised to know that not having a home is a real thing! You’re welcome, any time.

Amazing to welcome the Deputy Prime Minister to visit our warehouse today, alongside Mayor Sadiq Khan and Minister Rushanara Ali MP 💙 We talked strategy, housing, but most of all listened to the real lives of our members who were there too.

Very pleased to see this. Yes we want to see systemic reform, but this is also about helping people facing freezing temperatures now. Thanks to Rushanara Ali MP 💙 and officials who made this happen.
