Hundreds of thousands of people are being unfairly locked out of homes they could otherwise afford – simply because they receive housing benefit.
Thank you for choosing to build a better future. We have some good news: you live in an important area for this campaign.
The Prime Minister has promised more social housing will be built as part of his commitment to ‘build build build’. Right now, we need more than promises to get homes built, we need investment, and we need it now.
During this pandemic our homes have become a focal point in our lives like never before – for work, for education, for our health. But, for too many their homes have not been a safe haven. They’ve been stuck in insecure, poor quality flats for months.
We have now closed this open letter and sent it to the Homelessness Minister, Kelly Tolhurst MP. Both Shelter and Rhys really appreciate the huge number of people that have joined his call for Kelly Tolhurst to meet with him and discuss how to prevent a return to people sleeping on our streets - especially on the run-up to winter.
All across the country, people are feeling the impact of the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on their daily lives.
We're hearing how the coronavirus outbreak is leading to huge financial hardship, with people losing work and unable to cover their rent.
