Ending Homelessness Together

@RiversideUK - Provider of homelessness services. Last year we supported 13,140 people through supported accommodation, housing first and floating support.

Riverside are proud to support this critical campaign and be a co-signatory of this joint letter with @natfednews and 170 other organisations, to the PM and Chancellor calling on them to #SaveOurSupportedHousing.

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

Today we’ve written to @10DowningStreet & @hmtreasury with 170 cross-sector orgs, urging Govt to invest in #SupportedHousing.

Funding has fallen by 75% since 2010. Without action, more people who rely on this support will lose their homes.

More than half of teachers in state schools in England say that they have pupils in their classes who are homeless and stuck in temporary accommodation.

[Ending Homelessness Together @RiversideEHT]

The government's National Plan to End Homelessness is positive step but we will still need to increase the supply of social housing and provide more funding for supported housing and homelessness services to truly tackle the issue.

[Crisis @crisis_uk]

This year, like every year, we're running our Crisis at Christmas services – helping people off the streets and into safe accommodation, providing nutritious food, access to healthcare and other services. If you can, please support our Christmas appeal: https://t.co/nlNUEUuBrs

[The Salvation Army @salvationarmyuk]

When ‘David’ moved into our lifehouse, he gained independence and confidence. He’d always dreaded Christmas, but we turned this dark season into a time of love and hope for him. Help us turn love into action for people like David this Christmas: https://t.co/ob1D5h4GKP

Lest we forget. #RemembranceDay

Thanks to our heroes from @RiversideEHT and @MyGreatPlace another person is ready to start their recovery journey.

Together, we are making a difference

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

Shocking new data from @mhclg today, showing homelessness in England at a record high.

We urge the government to use its homelessness strategy to stop this crisis, whilst our members work in partnership to deliver more social housing across the country.

[Ending Homelessness Together @RiversideEHT]

We're really pleased to see Government take another positive step towards tackling homelessness, this will make a real difference for care leavers and victims of domestic abuse

[Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov @mhclg]

Too many people leave care or abusive homes with nowhere to truly call home.

We're changing the rules to help them get the housing and security they deserve — and delivering the biggest boost to social housing in a generation.

Great to see @JoMidge at our #BedEveryNight services in Manchester this week

[Joanna Midgley @JoMidge]

Enjoyed visits to some Mcr #BedEveryNight schemes today including @SpinMcr @thebmhc @StopStartGo @RiversideUK & Revolving Doors Housing Trust. Lovely welcome & chats with staff - great to see wide range of provision & support available to help reduce #homelessness @AndyBurnhamGM

[Riverside Group @RiversideUK]

“With a record 164,040 children homeless and stuck in damaging temporary accommodation, and rough sleeping doubled since 2021, we had hoped the Government would have gone further by announcing more funding for supported housing at this juncture.

[Riverside Group @RiversideUK]

Our Chief Executive Paul Dolan has welcomed the ‘ground breaking’ funding settlements for social housing providers announced by the Chancellor @RachelReevesMP in today’s Spending Review.

🧵 Commenting on today’s announcements, Paul Dolan, Chief Executive of Riverside said:

[Ending Homelessness Together @RiversideEHT]

It's great news that the Vagrancy Act is to be scrapped - no one should be treated as a criminal for being homeless.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

We're ending nearly two centuries of injustice towards some of the most vulnerable in society.

No one should be criminalised for sleeping rough. By scrapping the cruel, outdated Vagrancy Act, we're ensuring people get support and dignity - not punishment.

[Crisis @crisis_uk]

🚪Two doors. Two futures. Only one real option.

Today in Westminster, we came together with @Shelter, @natfednews and more in solidarity to show the government what's at stake at next week’s Spending Review.

[Ending Homelessness Together @RiversideEHT]

Really insightful messaging from the Housing, Communities & Local Government Committee ahead of next week's Spending Review. Significant investment is needed in social and affordable housing if Government is to meet its target of delivering 1.5 million new homes this parliament.

[Housing, Communities & Local Government Committee @CommonsHCLG]

The Spending Review is make or break to deliver 1.5 million new homes and boost investment in social and affordable housing.

Our Chair, @FloEshalomi, has written to the Chancellor ahead of next week's announcements 👇

[Ending Homelessness Together @RiversideEHT]

Without intervention from Government we risk losing vital supported housing services. In this article Lee Buss-Blair talks about what worked previously and how we can address the challenges we face now, "Riverside won’t commit to something we can’t do well or can’t do safely."

[Inside Housing @insidehousing]

Labour used to fund supported housing properly. Can we turn the clock back? https://t.co/xHrpA38Vll #ukhousing

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

Handing in our joint-letter signed by over 170 organisations and charities to @10DowningStreet, calling on the Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer to save supported housing, with @KateNHF and @LGAcomms.

Everyone deserves a secure and affordable home.

🚨Supported housing is in crisis🚨

Despite being a lifeline for those who need support to live independently, years of funding cuts have paved an uncertain future for these vital services.

We’ve written to @Keir_Starmer and @RachelReevesMP, along with 170 cross-sector organisations and charities, to call on the government to urgently invest in supported housing.

[St Mungo's @StMungos]

We stand with @natfednews and 170 organisations in the Save Our Supported Housing campaign.

Without intervention, more supported housing services will be lost. The government has an opportunity to prevent this at the forthcoming Spending Review.
