If the Treasury fail to provide Angela with the funding needed to deliver enough social homes in the Spending Review, they can wave goodbye to building 1.5 million new homes. A promise made to the country Worse still, they’ll be condemning an entire generation to a cycle of poverty and homelessness

Labour set a target of 1.5m homes while campaigning in last year's election. Yet it's still refusing to put a number on how many should be for social rent – the type of housing that 1.3m households are waiting for.

Shameful. Even if there is a calculator where your heart should be, the least you have to understand is how much damage this causes to the economy. While the situation is this dire, there is not going to be any growth, there is not going to be a reduction in crime, and the NHS remains broken.

🚨 I spoke to kids from a primary school where 25% of them are homeless, I wanted you to hear directly from them. Education is the biggest opportunity for children from disadvantaged backgrounds to break free from poverty. They’re being denied that opportunity.

Speaking at our event @kwajo.bsky.social warns that over-crowding will only increase if young people continue to be priced out of moving into private rented accomodation or buying homes of their own. That's why a massive expansion of house building, always promised, never delivered, is so important.
