'Rents rising 15% a year while Local Housing Allowance was frozen in 2020' ..That means less and less access to housing and more poverty for those who do find any. Add failure to abolish no fault eviction and less social housing and you have a policy that promotes homelessness.
NEW: The number of families and children stuck in temporary accommodation without a secure home has hit record highs.
@alexdiner1987 was on @BBCNews to explain why this has happened and what this government needs to do now.

One of the biggest barriers to developing more community-led housing is the lack of financing. The £1.9bn could've helped reintroduce the government's Community Housing Fund, which, until it was scrapped, was a major source of funding for community-led projects.
13 Jul 2023
There are 5,400 community led homes waiting to be unblocked. £50m would unleash groups so it's hard to hear that £1.9bn has gone unspent.
Please support the campaign for more supportive #communityledhousing policies by writing to your MP. More info here > communitylandtrusts.org.uk/n…

Such a joy to be working with @makespaceoxford @AsylumWelcome @spatial_action today exploring what community spaces exist in #Oxford, what makes them welcoming, what makes them unwelcoming… And what community spaces of the future can and should look like

Great news!
💷 @NALC has been lobbying for it, and now the government has confirmed that the Community Ownership Fund has been extended to allow applications from local (parish and town) councils for the first time.

Homelessness if often hidden. It is not just the person effected directly who suffers but the wider community, as the 'social fabric' is stretched and tears start to appear ...

Happy International Women's Day 🫶
Women make up around 14% of construction industry professionals BUT, we have hope that this number will rise with more and more women entering construction and engineering jobs.
There is a place in construction for everyone!

The quality of the build in the first place, is also important though. Correct thermal bridging is usually a big part of avoiding condensation...
