On 24th March, I’m raising money for Porchlight by sleeping out. Please sponsor me. Your donation will help ensure that people have a rough over their head. Details here: https://t.co/PoIJMVymaK

Most people who use drugs or have severe mental health problems do not experience homelessness and many people who experience homelessness do not use drugs or have mental health problems

Domestic abuse causes more homelessness than eviction.

We should be doing more to prevent domestic abuse and more to ensure that victims of domestic abuse are not made homeless

[Thomas Neumark @tomneumark]

@Pepys21 @TorstenBell Very interesting. I think housing per person is related to overcrowding but not identical

[Porchlight @Porchlight1974]

With temperatures dropping, many councils are providing emergency accommodation for people who are homeless. We’re working with them to get everyone inside.

If you're concerned about someone who's homeless, please report them using the @Tell_StreetLink website.

[Thomas Neumark @tomneumark]

@NicholasPleace those american numbers are highly questionable

[Jack Shaw @JackTShaw]

New investigation by me for @Prospect_UK with @PaperDispatch reveals that families are ‘forgotten’ in temporary accommodation for years – even decades.

Pleased to announce I'm joining @Porchlight1974 as its new CEO.

It's a charity with a 50-year history of supporting people facing housing issues.

I'm looking forward to joining the team and working towards solutions that will create lasting change and keep people safe.

Nearly £1bn is set to leave the homeless sector in April, putting vital services & people they support at risk. On #WorldHomelessDay we’ve joined 75 organisations to sign @HomelessLink's letter to @RachelReevesMP calling for action in the #AutumnBudget.

Reflections on World Homeless Day and My Time at the 999 Club

I am thankful to the people who have used @The999Club 's services who have taught me so much about determination. I feel humble to have lead an organisation dedicated to supporting them.

It's #WorldHomelessDay2024

[Thomas Neumark @tomneumark]

Offical statistics confirm that over the past few years we have seen a dramatic and sustained increase in the number of people experiencing homelessness and the number of people living in temporary accommodation.

[Thomas Neumark @tomneumark]

Average UK private rents increased by 8.4% in the 12 months to August 2024 while average UK house prices increased by 2.2% to £290,000 in the 12 months to July 2024

@GoodOrgCIC @HistoricEngland @HE_Yorkshire @YorkMuseumTrust @boardman_claire @InvCities @CommunityYoco @Yorspace @YorkCVS @YorkCastle @wrkclasshistory @NicholasPleace Sounds amazing. Is there an exhibition that people can visit?

[Thomas Neumark @tomneumark]

Check out the The Old Fire Station as part of open house this weekend: https://t.co/ObVNSrYQLc

[Streets Kitchen @streetskitchen]

We need a favour!! 🙏

We need to ensure that anyone who may be experiencing homelessness in #Islington, #Haringey & #Hackney is invited along to #StreetsFest

Please tell anyone you may know or meet on your travels about the event.

A fun day with LOTS of beneficial services.

[Justlife @justlifeuk]

Council spending on temporary accommodation has hit £2.2bn a year, but many residents continue to endure unacceptable living conditions.

Our current approach isn't working. It's time to create a system where experiences in TA are short, safe and healthy. https://t.co/9GRTXufH78

Breaking news: I am running the London Marathon for The Connection next year. Please do sponsor me if you can. https://t.co/qMuUnccq9v

@geographyjim I thought it was very notable that the most recent ONS report showed that London house prices were rising lower than other regions whereas rents were rising higher than other regions. Do you have a theory why that might be?
