NHF Chair Maggie Galliers welcoming our smaller housing association members to our #NationalHousingSummit networking breakfast- ‘the diversity of the sector is its strength, size doesn’t matter- it’s the quality of service that counts’

[Dean McGlynn @deamcg]

Let’s talk about supported housing!

“We need to be courageous - it’s incumbent on HA’s to provide good quality supported housing for communities that need it”

A great discussion on the funding challenges but also the impact supported housing makes

‘Are you speaking for and with your tenants, or trying to protect your privacy institutions?’

@Crumblybum @jessphillips The police were not told the girl was in possession of drugs. They were told that ‘ she smelt of weed’. This was child. How dare she be treated in this way.

It is so frustrating that ALL of the problems with #UniversalCredit were flagged up when the policy was being developed. There was a complete refusal by Gov to listen then and here we are years later with the rollout in tatters & people left facing severe hardship.
