In this exclusive article for HQN, @KeithCooper1973 argues that the budget felt like a damp squib for housing – "a sop to keep things ticking over for the winter with the hope of something bigger in the spring" https://t.co/6ifweFW0Jk #ukhousing

[KWAJO- Social Issues Campaigner @Kwajotweneboa]

All those MP’s that left before the Prime Minister address the Grenfell Phase 2 report are shameless.

What was more important than hearing reaction to the biggest residential disaster/failure in modern history, and those responsible being named?

Getting lunch? Getting to the Commons bar first??

Last night in many of their constituencies, residents would’ve gone to bed in homes still wrapped in dangerous cladding.

But in a decision likely to disappoint some bereaved, survivors and campaigners it has NOT made direct recommendations covering social housing providers - saying the recent changes to consumer regulation are sufficient to deliver change

Today is a day for all political parties to commit to a #GrenfellLaw - enshrining in UK law the basic right to a good, safe home.

🚨 Grenfell Inquiry report 🚨

- "Complacent" govt "well aware" of risk of cladding disaster but failed to act
- "Systematic dishonesty" by product manufacturers "very significant reason" for fire
- "Chronic and systemic" fire safety failures by tower's social landlords

[Jim Pickard 🐋 @PickardJE]

UK chancellor Rachel Reeves is planning to raise social rents by more than inflation for the next 10 years in an attempt to boost the building of affordable homes.

It seems like social housing organisations are leaving Twitter en masse
I’m interested in the views about this from the tenant/resident contributors
(I stayed off Twitter in the Trump era and I am no fan of Musk)

[BRE Group @BRE_Group]

"It would take 44 years to build sufficient #homes to meet the existing needs of 1.8 million people in England who currently need an accessible or adaptable home."

Two years on from government plans for all new homes to have entrance level step-free access & other accessibility features as a minimum requirement, @Ageing_Better finds just 82,000 accessible homes were built.

BRE research reveals the unmet need for accessible #housing. More by @JonLandOfficial in @HQNMedia:

All councils in England are to be given new, mandatory housing targets, the Right to Buy will be reformed and social landlords will get rent stability as part of a series of housing pledges unveiled by Housing Secretary Angela Rayner. #ukhousing https://t.co/PO55VNfval

No one in the UK should have to turn to a food bank to survive.

Like and RT if you agree. 💚

We need to think twice about Housing First. Why the latest fashion in helping homelessness demands greater scrutiny:
