Today @myldn has published a special report into the capital’s housing crisis.

We have spent the year visiting hundreds of people to hear their frustrations and make necessary calls for reform (1/3) 🧵

Last week, myself and @facundoarriz visited a council flat in Holborn.

The tenant has been living in the space for 22 years – spending most of his time sitting on a dirty blanket with dozens of beer cans, coffee cups and pieces of soiled bedding strewn across the floor 🧵

[Dave Comeau @DavidAJComeau]

Very proud to say @myldn has been nominated for The Orwell Prize for Reporting Homelessness for our project Rough. We knew it was an amazing piece of work so it's great to have it recognised. Well done to everyone involved

Now, he lives under the threat of losing him home.

This is when local news really makes a difference. A deaf mum living in a dangerous and mice-infested flat has been begging to be moved but felt she was being ignored because of her disability. After we ran a story, her family is finally in a suitable and safe home

As @TfL's pedicabs consultation gets into full swing, calls to ban them are getting ever louder - but a legal loophole means they can't be. Find out why in this article @CityWestminster @MayorofLondon @sohosocietyw1 @metpoliceuk @centreforlondon https://t.co/m4bekKlr32

Leaseholders in #Bermondsey can’t sell their homes because of Southwark Council’s delay in issuing fire safety forms that buyers require to get a mortgage.

Local Lib Dem councillor @RachelBentleyNB branded the delays in issuing the forms a ‘scandal.’

Bethnal Green Weightlifting Club could shut this month as Tower Hamlets Council has issued an eviction notice. It could mean the end of what's claimed to be London's oldest powerlifting club. @myldn is calling on the council to reconsider, or relocate it https://t.co/Hx8Mv8SeGx

[Dave Comeau @DavidAJComeau]

It's a Christmas miracle! After @myldn's campaign helped publicise the threat of closure, someone anonymously donated £28,500 to Grow Wild in Walthamstow to meet its target and secure its future as an outdoor play space where kids can connect with nature https://t.co/reg6H1OaXJ

@mylondon @facundoarriz There's months of work here - building trust, trying to understand the issues and examining solutions. Please read and share - there are voices that need, and deserve, to be heard.

[ZakGP @JournoZak]

One of my best friends in journalism @facundoarriz has been documenting this tragedy over the past 2 years. This week he presented the powerful findings with Rough a project for @myldn telling these stories.

After months of work, @myldn has launched its homelessness project. It’s an incredible piece of storytelling by our team who’ve visited encampments, sat in people’s tents and witnessed the violence and risks rough sleepers face daily. Please check it out

[Luke Donnelly @Luke_Donnelly99]

This morning @myldn has launched a special project on the rise of rough sleeping in London.

We’ve spoken to hundreds of people over the past four months, visiting some several times to build up trust 🧵(1/5)
