Join the campaign for social housing

Build social housing, end the housing emergency.

Social housing gives us a solid foundation - and the chance to build happy, healthy lives. Those of us who were made in social housing have had long term security and genuine affordability. Things we desperately need now.

In England, 300,000 people are currently homeless - and rough sleeping has more than doubled since 2010. Without enough social homes, people are stuck homeless in temporary accommodation or struggling to pay extortionate rents in the private rented sector. And yet, we're still losing more social homes every year than we're building. It's never been more urgent to fight for more and better social homes.

We used to be a country who built social housing – and we need you to stand with us to convince our elected representatives that we can be again.

Add your name to the campaign to build more social housing: so a new generation can be proud to say “We are Made in Social Housing”.

  Building 90,000 quality social rent homes a year would give people the homes they desperately need, and provide people with the long term stability and security of a safe place to call home.

  Social housing rents are tied to local incomes which means that, unlike the private rented sector, social rent homes are the only genuinely affordable housing tenure.

  Chris was born and raised in a social home, and this is how he put it: “So much has been taken away simply by the removal of social housing as a primary option. We were part of a community. Safe, secure, stable.”

  We hear hundreds of these stories from people we help find social homes every year. We want more people to have the security and affordability of a social home, just like Chris.

  With a general election on the horizon, we all have the opportunity to use our voices and votes for change. Stand with us today, add your name to the campaign and call on all political parties to build social homes and end the housing emergency.
