Sign this letter to all party leaders: tell them on the 4th July you'll be voting for home
Dear Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer, Ed Davey, Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay,
We write to tell you that at the general election, we're calling on you to build the social homes and create the fairer renting system that will end the housing emergency.
Successive governments have failed to address England’s housing emergency. Not enough social homes have been built. People across the country have been pushed into a dangerous private rented sector where over-priced housing continues to take a devastating toll on our physical and mental health. The number of people who are homeless is at record levels. This is England’s housing emergency and it’s getting worse.
We can end the housing emergency and make sure everyone has a safe and secure home, but only with political action.
We’ve asked people with experience of poor housing and homelessness about what needs to change, and they’ve helped us identify the solutions to rebuild our broken housing system. By building social housing, creating a fairer renting system and by ensuring benefits cover rents, we can build happier and healthier communities across England.
Those who have signed this letter are clear: On the 4th July, if you want our votes, you must fix the housing emergency.
Yours sincerely,
The undersigned
