With rents skyrocketing and cost of living rising, more and more people are being forced into homelessness. Some of them will end up on the street, others in temporary accommodation not even fit for a night’s stay.
A lack of good-quality, truly affordable housing has pushed millions of households into the expensive private rented sector.
We need green, quality homes that people on low incomes can afford.
With over 1 million households waiting for social homes, join us today in calling on the government to urgently invest in a new generation of social housing. Our research shows that we need to build at least 90,000 social homes a year to end the housing emergency. Last year, just 6,000 were built.
The maths is simple. If there are more homes that are genuinely affordable, with rents tied to local income, there’ll be less people experiencing homelessness.
But we need to act now.
The clock is ticking. And every minute of inaction will see more families pushed to the brink. Sign this petition today and call on the government to build social housing.
