Eyes down for bingo! 'It was like the heart of Prescot.' 🎱

Prescot Picture Palace opened in 1912 and is one of England's earliest surviving cine-variety houses.

Since closing in 1957, the building has been a carpet shop, a church, and a bingo hall during the 1980s.

We’ve written to the next PM to call for a #PlanForHousing to end the scandal of child homelessness.

Our new polling with @YouGov shows how widespread the #HousingCrisis is and the public support for the action we need.

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

Our research shows the #HousingCrisis will worsen rapidly without urgent action.

We need a #PlanForHousing to end child homelessness, halve overcrowding & improve affordability.

A generation of children will have their futures snatched away unless the next Govt fixes the #HousingCrisis

We’ve written to Party leaders, backed by children’s charities, teachers, anti-poverty orgs & the housing sector, to call for a #PlanForHousing

Great to see new @natfednews & @Savills research mentioned on the front page of the @FT

The #HousingCrisis can only be fixed by creating many more new homes, but housebuilding is on track to hit 10 year lows. The next Govt can only tackle this by building more #AffordableHousing

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

Boosting #AffordableHousing m is the only way to meet Labour & Conservative’s 300,000 homes a year target.

This would not only fix the #HousingCrisis but protect jobs & capacity amid a private construction downturn.

Not a one. It’s things like this make me miss @vickipper & the rats’ polling booth escapades.

[Rachel Case @Rachel_Case]

Will today finally be the day I see some #dogsatpollingstations?

[Rachel Case @Rachel_Case]

Bleak new @luhc stats show record nos of homeless households & children living in temp accommodation.

This can’t go on. We can only end the scandal of child homelessness with a #PlanForHousing including the safe, affordable social homes families need to build a secure future.

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

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.

Pleased that @natfednews is standing with @crisis_uk and others to urge the Home Secretary to stop plans to fine or imprison people for sleeping rough. No-one should be criminalised for being homeless. https://t.co/HB5HaSTpbH

England is in a housing emergency. 8.5 million people can't access the housing they need.

The next Government can fix this if they commit to a long-term #PlanForHousing

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

The housing crisis can be solved, but the next govt must put an end to short-term thinking.

Ahead of #GE24 we are calling for a long-term #PlanForHousing 🏠

Just one year of building the 90,000 social rented homes our country needs, would add over £50billion to the UK economy.

[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... 📽️

[Rachel Case @Rachel_Case]

Today we launch the next phase of @natfednews campaign for a #PlanForHousing.

We're in a housing emergency. But it doesn't have to be this way.

By committing to a #PlanForHousing the next Government could fix the #HousingCrisis by 2035.

Harrowing and tragic findings. Today more children are homeless in temp accom than ever before - 142,490 in total

It's utterly shameful to allow kids to grow up in these conditions

This crisis can be solved & we can end child homelessness but to do so, we need a #PlanForHousing

[Kate Henderson @KateNHF]

Shadow Homelessness Minister @MikeAmesburyMP speaking at #EndingHomelessnessTogether lobby in Parliament highlights the shameful number of children living in temp accom.

It doesn’t need to be like this. A #PlanForHousing could end child homelessness https://t.co/P0aFsFy67q

[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.

[Matthew Pennycook MP @mtpennycook]

After decades of marginalisation, we must once again assert the necessity and the value of social housing.

It is a crucial national asset to be proud of, to invest in, to protect and to maintain.

A Labour government will prioritise it.
