This is what the housing crisis is doing to people.
Just listen to Laurie. She is 62, her husband is 72. They have worked all of their lives but cannot afford anywhere to rent and are now homeless.
“We just want somewhere decent and clean, where we can live a quiet life.“
“Homelessness is not inevitable, as a provider of services to thousands of people across Britain every year. We know that in most cases it’s preventable, and in every case it can be ended.” https://t.co/UhVC3LtHmq
At Crisis, we know a future without homelessness is possible if we work together.
That's why we're proud to be working with the Prince of Wales on his new programme @HomewardsUK. #Homewards
Housing First works. It is unthinkable that these pilots in @greatermcr, @LpoolCityRegion and @WestMids_CA could be stopped from providing vital support to over a thousand people. https://t.co/RZqpIUNmAD
#EveryoneIn is 1 year old. It was part of the program that tackled hunger, poverty and homelessness during lockdown. Now do we build on this progress or waste it? @crisis_uk, @TrussellTrust & @jrf_uk have written to the PM asking what comes next. Help us: https://t.co/ujy4Wcwlkj
Today we release new figures showing how over 60,000 families & individuals in England could be prevented from being pushed into homelessness in the next 10 yrs - if we see bold action from the government now: https://t.co/gMucdQduRX
Francesca, our Head of Research, explains…
Delighted that @elliegoulding has become @crisis_uk's newest Ambassador after supporting us for many years - and leads this great video on the gift of Christmas, and this year's #CrisisChristmas appeal.

Please join me and support @Crisis_UK's campaign calling on the Government to scrap new immigration rules that will punish people for being homeless. Together, we can create a fair system which treats everyone humanely, no matter where you’re from. https://t.co/iXAT8nO7O4
Today, @ScotGovFairer and @KevinStewartSNP publish an updated plan to tackle homelessness based on recommendations made by HARSAG. This sends a clear message that people affected by homelessness matter.

Chief executive of @crisis_uk@jon_sparkes, said: “Predictions of deaths among people who have nowhere else to go, other than our streets, or sleeping in communal night shelters that are not Covid-secure, must act as a wake-up call to the government." https://t.co/2HZYbLth9a
Number of rough sleepers in London rises to a record high - Jon Sparkes, chief executive of @crisis_uk, said figures were “deeply alarming” and showed “how dire the underlying situation was even before the coronavirus outbreak.” https://t.co/xPyp42Uetj
