We have been campaigning on the rising numbers of deaths in temporary accommodation (TA) over the last year - here, more damning evidence of the crisis in homeless services and its effect on people's health (and mortality).
New & exclusive @theipaper for the first time, I have obtained data that links child deaths to homelessness and reveals a public health crisis for children forced into temporary accommodation. The data comes from a new report published by the @TA_APPG inews.co.uk/news/homeless-ch…

In which I argue that #Georgian #classicism, #Victorian historicism, #modernism, #Brutalism, and most contemporary "sustainable" #architecture are all parts of the same movement: #FossilFuelism. We need to get away from them all to reach #zerocarbon.

We believe that community control of land and buildings we own will help rebalance the inequalities we see in our neighbourhoods.
Community led housing is only one part of the solution. We will support our communities to deliver what people need - decent, affordable housing. – at Liverpool, England
Interesting plans outlined by @srcdoyle here. Liverpool Council wants to spark a community-led housing revolution on local authority land

🔊A new report published today by @crisis_uk reveals the devastating impact of unaffordable housing costs, rising rents and skyrocketing inflation on low-income households and people facing homelessness as the cost of living intensifies.

Up to 50% of homes are holiday lets in some UK hotspots, leaving communities hollowed out & too few homes for local people. Rachael Maskell’s Short-Term Licensing Bill will give Councils the power to protect local homes. Tag your MP and ask them to back the bill #HomesB4Holidays
Labour Housing Group - North West retweeted
On Friday the Commons will debate @RachaelMaskell's Bill to license holiday lets. Yesterday our director @aliciakennedy07 gave her campaign our support. With 29 homes a day lost to the holiday homes sector 2021-22 there has never been a more important time to license holiday lets

If you need any reminder of the significance of council homes to so many people growing up (as well as now), it's worth taking a look at this thread ...

Please follow @claddag and send love, strength and warmth as they go to Court today re PEEPs (evacuation plans).
Because people with mobility difficulties are human too. Not obstacles 'getting in the way' as a minister alleged. 😥😩💚💚

Campaigners are taking legal action against the government's decision to reject a key recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, ensuring that disabled people living in high-rise flats can evacuate safely in emergencies.
@simonvigar5 has been meeting some of those involved.

Those who are at the sharpest end of inequality and injustice are most vulnerable by the lack of proper regulations and accountability of landlords.
Everything from:
🐁 rodent infestations
🦠 damp and mould
🔥 no heating
💸 rent hikes

Great to chat, @therealboon about @claddag judicial review Dec, fighting for evacuation plans for disabled and older people…of course some music chat too! #EnoughIsEnough #EvacPlansNow – at Salford, England

Here's a quick thread about government, social housing and the lack of regulation to ensure tenants have some protection when housing management goes wrong. Because... well... there is a certain level of hypocrisy from current ministers which can't be left unaddressed
Labour Housing Group - North West retweeted
It is shameful that disabled people do not have a mandatory right to an evacuation plan if their home catches fire.
Thank you to @claddag for leading the fight on this.
I am proud to support you and will keep raising this with the PM & Sec of State. #EndOurCladdingScandal
