Our new report #NoAccessNoWayOut sheds light on how homeless but stable individuals are stuck in limbo as they cannot afford to leave transitional support services.
🗞️@CommonwealCEO shares key learnings from the latest report in @insidehousing ➡️ bit.ly/4cOS8tC
Move-on is the overlooked part of the homelessness system
“When a system is broken, it is not fixed until the whole system is fixed. Otherwise this government runs the risk of addressing the symptoms and headline effects, but not tackling the root cause”

Yesterday, we launched our new report #NoAccessNoWayOut.
Homelessness organisations and their clients' shared the realities of being trapped in a broken system, with no access to the PRS and benefit barriers to work.

The high cost of PRS housing means choosing to work, and forgoing housing benefits often makes rent unaffordable.
This traps people leaving homelessness in worklessness, creating a poverty trap and leading to feelings of hopelessness... ➡️Learn more: bit.ly/3Mospxf
"There are plenty of people in night shelters right now ... ready to go - we just can't find a place that is acceptable and able to move in."

A really insightful and considered piece from @CommonwealCEO on growth of temporary accommodation use over recent decades. Building social housing is the answer - everything else is merely tinkering around the edges

Thanks to @PaulaBarkerMP for securing the debate on youth homelessness in Parliament today - the issue needs to be highlighted. This debate was a great starting point and @CommonwealTweet agree with her heart felt "imploring" of Parliamentary colleagues to keep pushing the issue
