2/2 - This isn’t the end of the campaign. The Bill still has further parliamentary stages to clear before it becomes law.
But this is a massive first step towards ending the scandal in exempt accommodation.

YOU DID IT!!
🚨BREAKING - MPs have backed @BobBlackman's Bill to stop rogue landlords exploiting people in exempt accommodation.
There’s still a way to go before it becomes law, but this is a big success! Thanks to everyone who has been part of the campaign!❤️#RegulateTheRogues

[Crisis @crisis_uk]

If you're watching @C4Dispatches here's more info. In August, our research with @Zoopla found that only 1 in 8 homes were affordable on housing benefit. Barely a month later @Shelter & @TBIJ have a frightening update. The numbers have collapsed; only 1 in 50 are now affordable.

[Liz Choonara @LizGChoonara]

Looking forward to speaking at the 5th annual @CFE_IAN conference next week @STEAMhouseUK in Birmingham.

I’ll be sharing our work @crisis_uk to ensure lived experience of homelessness is embedded in our entrepreneurial activities.

[Crisis @crisis_uk]

Knowledge gives us the power to make change happen. Learning about the reality of homelessness will change society's attitude towards it. It's essential if we want to #EndHomeless.
