We have been campaigning on the rising numbers of deaths in temporary accommodation (TA) over the last year - here, more damning evidence of the crisis in homeless services and its effect on people's health (and mortality).

In which I argue that #Georgian #classicism, #Victorian historicism, #modernism, #Brutalism, and most contemporary "sustainable" #architecture are all parts of the same movement: #FossilFuelism. We need to get away from them all to reach #zerocarbon.

We believe that community control of land and buildings we own will help rebalance the inequalities we see in our neighbourhoods.

Community led housing is only one part of the solution. We will support our communities to deliver what people need - decent, affordable housing.

[Greater Manchester Law Centre @gmlawcentre]

Have you faced eviction or homelessness in GM and struggled to get legal advice?
We would like to talk to you about the difficulties getting help to highlight the need for more legal services and better legal aid.

[Crisis @crisis_uk]

🔊A new report published today by @crisis_uk reveals the devastating impact of unaffordable housing costs, rising rents and skyrocketing inflation on low-income households and people facing homelessness as the cost of living intensifies.

[Action on Empty Homes @emptyhomes @emptyhomes]

Up to 50% of homes are holiday lets in some UK hotspots, leaving communities hollowed out & too few homes for local people. Rachael Maskell’s Short-Term Licensing Bill will give Councils the power to protect local homes. Tag your MP and ask them to back the bill #HomesB4Holidays

[Generation Rent @genrentuk]

On Friday the Commons will debate @RachaelMaskell's Bill to license holiday lets. Yesterday our director @aliciakennedy07 gave her campaign our support. With 29 homes a day lost to the holiday homes sector 2021-22 there has never been a more important time to license holiday lets

[Municipal Dreams @MunicipalDreams]

If you need any reminder of the significance of council homes to so many people growing up (as well as now), it's worth taking a look at this thread ...

[Emma Dent Coad @emmadentcoad]

Please follow @claddag and send love, strength and warmth as they go to Court today re PEEPs (evacuation plans).

Because people with mobility difficulties are human too. Not obstacles 'getting in the way' as a minister alleged. 😥😩💚💚

[Channel 5 News @5_News]

Campaigners are taking legal action against the government's decision to reject a key recommendation from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, ensuring that disabled people living in high-rise flats can evacuate safely in emergencies.

@simonvigar5 has been meeting some of those involved.

[Greater Manchester Tenants Union @gmtenantsunion]

Those who are at the sharpest end of inequality and injustice are most vulnerable by the lack of proper regulations and accountability of landlords.

Everything from:
🐁 rodent infestations
🦠 damp and mould
🔥 no heating
💸 rent hikes

[Hulme Life Buildings Leaseholders Association @LifeBuildings]

Great to chat, @therealboon about @claddag judicial review Dec, fighting for evacuation plans for disabled and older people…of course some music chat too! #EnoughIsEnough #EvacPlansNow

[Peter Apps @PeteApps]

Here's a quick thread about government, social housing and the lack of regulation to ensure tenants have some protection when housing management goes wrong. Because... well... there is a certain level of hypocrisy from current ministers which can't be left unaddressed

[Florence Eshalomi MP @FloEshalomi]

It is shameful that disabled people do not have a mandatory right to an evacuation plan if their home catches fire.

Thank you to @claddag for leading the fight on this.

I am proud to support you and will keep raising this with the PM & Sec of State. #EndOurCladdingScandal
