Good to be on @BBCBreakfast talking about our research on overcrowding in England and the devastating impact this is having on children.
We need an urgent, long term, national plan aimed at drastically increasing the number of affordable and social homes across England.
I did it! 🏃♀️I ran the Hackney Half Marathon in memory of my wonderful friend Rachael and my Mum, and raised money for @BreastCancerNow
Thanks for the kindness, compassion and generosity of everyone who has sponsored me and encouraged me along the way 💕https://t.co/c8gslmigSw
Positive to see a strong commitment to safe-guarding social housing in today's King's Speech, alongside holding those responsible for unsafe buildings to account.

Latest @mhclg figures shows child homelessness is at its highest. The number of households in temporary accommodation doubled in a decade, with 68,000 households newly homeless in 2025.
Housing associations work hard to deliver the homes desperately needed to end this crisis.
Our research in the @guardian reveals a huge rise in surface water flooding in our towns and cities.
#SocialHousing residents are more likely to live in urban areas, and least equipped to deal with the financial toll of flooding.

"I know how deeply those working in social housing care about providing homes and building communities, and I know we have the resilience and dedication to succeed."

Government has introduced a huge amount of planning reform, much of it welcome, but proposals to remove requirements for developers to deliver affordable housing on medium-sized sites could have consequences for our ambition to deliver social homes https://t.co/xT4kWEuK9Z
We welcome this important report from the @CommonsHCLG, which recognises the social housing sector’s role in providing safe and decent places to live.

Housing association homes have been the most energy efficient in England for more than a decade – offering the highest share of homes with EPC rating A-C.
This is due to our sector's commitment to providing energy efficient, quality homes that people can actually afford.
The long-awaited Warm Homes Plan has been published today. It will provide billions of pounds to upgrade England's homes and help up to a million households out of fuel poverty.
We will be scrutinising the full plan and what it means for housing associations and their residents.
In response to @LizTwistMP, @mtpennycook recognises the importance of implementing rent convergence for social housing supply and quality.
The decision on rent convergence will mean housing associations can plan and deliver affordable housing, with fair rents for residents.
It’s going to be cold tonight and this poses serious dangers to people sleeping rough on our streets.
If you see someone sleeping rough, use StreetLink to send an alert to support services: https://t.co/chBrkTV7EC
When a supported housing scheme closes, those who rely on its vital services suffer most. But, other public services are forced to make crisis interventions at higher costs – impacting us all.
The government must commit to a long-term funding settlement for supported housing.
Congratulations to @natfednews board member @SuzanneRastrick who has been recognised in #NewYearsHonours with a CBE.
A well deserved honour, in recognition of her work as Chief Allied Health Professions Officer for @NHSEngland and her contributions to the social housing sector.
We are determined to work with the government and build the social homes needed to end the homelessness crisis.
Our CEO, and member of the government’s Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Expert Group, @KateNHF, responds to today's homelessness strategy: https://t.co/1klUlsIqBN
We strongly welcome government plans to help children out of temporary accommodation. No child should grow up in this environment yet, in June 2025, 172,420 children were.
To end this crisis for good we will work with the government to deliver the social homes urgently needed.
Our response to today's #Budget2025:
👉Welcome removal of two child cap
👉Hope to see a decision on rent convergence in January
👉Good to see £1.5bn to tackle fuel poverty
👉Disappointed not to see funding for #SupportedHousing

Social housing is a pillar of the government’s housebuilding ambitions
A positive outcome on the consultation on rent convergence would further strengthen social housing providers’ ability to build more social homes, helping unblock stalled sites
@natfednews@mhclg@mtpennycook
My government is delivering the biggest boost to social housing in a generation.
We’re backing the mayors and councils who know their communities best, to build homes for families who need them the most.
It is excellent to see this robust set of recommendations on reforming land value capture.
We welcome today's report, which puts strong emphasis on delivering affordable housing as part of thriving, mixed communities and sets out the importance of Section 106 for delivery.
Awaab's Law comes into force today.
The quality and safety of resident homes is our top priority. These reforms, alongside the government's commitment to a decade of renewal for social and affordable housing, are crucial to addressing the housing crisis.
