Reflecting on a big year at Citizens UK, one of our top highlights has been working on the Cable Street affordable housing development. We’re so grateful for the countless community champions who have led this work 🙌 @LondonCLT

[London CLT @LondonCLT]

At a tough moment for housing, our Cable Street project in Shadwell is moving forward.

🏘️ London’s largest Community Land Trust
🌱 41 Passivhaus homes
🤝 Community-designed

Planning submission aimed for early 2026.

Thanks to @MayorofLondon @TfL @LDN_gov @tomcopley #housing

[TowerHamletsCitizens @THCitizens]

Huge congratulations to the organised leaders across @CitizensUK for championing many of these changes. The new Homelessness Strategy is promising, now let's move to put it in action!

[Citizens UK @CitizensUK]

We're pleased that the government’s Homelessness Strategy builds on the Child Poverty Strategy’s commitments to improve the lives of families in temporary accommodation.

These steps reflect recommendations from our report, ‘A long way from home’, published in May 2025. 🧵
