Really encouraged by the reply from @Miatsf to my question on funding for net zero - moving away from bidding rounds to mainstream funding. I hope Treasury agrees! #ukhousing #housingsummit

[Matthew Bailes @MB4Paradigm]

Interesting piece. But I do wonder whether there is political will in the West to make the changes that are needed.

Shocking new data from @luhc

🚨145,800 - Record no. of children in temp accom
🚨15,950 - Record no. of households in bed & breakfast since 1998
🚨59,850 - Record no. of Main Duty Acceptances since the 2017 Homelessness Reduction Act

With a #PlanForHousing 🏘️we CAN solve this.

South East consortium warns of 830,000 shortfall in social housing over next decade https://t.co/kZzFZs6OkN #ukhousing

[Matthew Bailes @MB4Paradigm]

I am in favour of professionalisation - but very much against the Government piling on more and more regulatory burdens and/or trying to providers how to run their businesses...

[Inside Housing @insidehousing]

The push to professionalise the sector shows shows the government’s lack of strategy on regulation https://t.co/ZSQazFziQt #ukhousing

[Matthew Bailes @MB4Paradigm]

Interesting piece. I think we should welcome and embrace a debate on shared ownership #ukhousing

[Inside Housing @insidehousing]

Can we in good faith call shared ownership ‘affordable’? https://t.co/m23ZdWmQNP #ukhousing

[Paradigm Housing @ParadigmHousing]

13,600 children in the South East are living in temporary accommodation. This disrupts their education and puts huge pressure on families. Hannah Manyewu, Executive Director - Customer, and Paradigm, support @natfednews long-term #PlanForHousing to end child homelessness by 2035.

[Matthew Bailes @MB4Paradigm]

This is an accurate account of the challenges faced by Housing Associations. The uncomfortable truth is that our ability to build new homes is reducing almost as quickly as the need for them is going up #PlanForHousing

[Financial Times @FT]

Housing associations in England warn ‘we can’t build houses’ https://t.co/x7IQ7pYQjc

[Matthew Bailes @MB4Paradigm]

Proud to be involved in this campaign. The housing crisis is causing immense harm to millions unable to afford a decent, secure and affordable home. It is also damaging the economy and costing taxpayers a fortune. We need a serious long-term housing plan. #PlanForHousing

[Paradigm Housing @ParadigmHousing]

Our CEO @MB4Paradigm announces our support of @natfednews' #PlanForHousing. By 2035, we could:
- End child homelessness
- Halve overcrowding
- Build social homes for 1M more people
- Ensure decent homes for 7M more families
- Improve affordability
- Boost regional productivity

My reflections on a fabulous trip to Australia. #ukhousing

[Housing Today @housing_today]

What England’s social housing system could learn from down under.
@MB4Paradigm recently attended a housing conference in Melbourne. Here he compares the Australian and English social housing systems and finds much to like in the former #housing https://t.co/OqNKG7TA6f

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

We need a #PlanForHousing 🏠

🚨There are more homeless children today than ever on record.
🚨More than 140,000 children are currently living in temporary accommodation.

This is Bri's story... 📽️

[Matthew Bailes @MB4Paradigm]

Well worth a look. Yet more evidence of the urgent need for a long-term housing strategy #ukhousing

[Resolution Foundation @resfoundation]

Lots of countries have housing challenges – so how exceptional is the UK's housing crisis?

Very.

We pay higher prices to live in smaller, older and poorer-quality homes.

Diabolical figures and a symptom of long-term policy failures #ukhousing

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

Shameful new @luhc data shows a record 142,490 children are living in temp accom.

It doesn’t need to be like this. A #PlanForHousing could end child homelessness by 2035.

“The NHF predicts that by 2045
👉the no. of children living in temporary accomm will rise from 131,000 to 310,000
👉social housing waiting lists will grow to 1.8mill households”

@LordWajidKhan in the @UKHouseofLords on our research & why we need a long-term #PlanForHousing

[Matthew Bailes @MB4Paradigm]

@SgethinH @ResourcesShared @insidehousing Hi Roger I was actually putting the case for reform

[Matthew Bailes @MB4Paradigm]

@Keir_Starmer Please don't forget about housing. 140k kids are homeless, and 1 in 6 lives in overcrowded conditions. You won't fix health and education if you don't fix housing too #ukhousing #HousingCrisis #PlanForHousing

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

We are in a #HousingEmergency. One that is affecting people on lower incomes in devastating ways.

We urge political parties on all sides to learn from history & commit to investing in homes & communities over the long term.

Daft comments about affordability, but he's right about the risks of very high loan-to-value mortgages. More cash chasing limited supply just inflates prices. We need a long-term housing strategy that addresses the root causes of the problem #ukhousing

My latest piece. Lots more pensioners will live in the private rented sector unless our housing system changes profoundly. They will be poor - and it will cost taxpayers a fortune #ukhousing

[Inside Housing @insidehousing]

Our pension system combined with our housing crisis are a ticking time bomb https://t.co/3MfoRUfWNZ #ukhousing
