Big thanks to St Petrock's Housing team, who've just accommodated 3 people who were sleeping rough on #Exeter's streets. So grateful for the caring, courageous and fun team I have the joy to lead.

This is very good news! For too long landlords have charged excessive rent up front to circumvent deposit rules.

So it's Christmas Eve. I'm looking forward to time off, time with my family, time to remember that God chose to become a person like us. But for those who are #homeless, #ChristmasDay is just another day to survive. But St Petrock's will be open serving Christmas dinner. stpetrockschristmas.org.uk

And many of these children in Temporary Accommodation will end up disadvantaged for life, especially if "temporary" ends up being many months. And so the cycle of homelessness and social inequality rolls on...

This is such a glaring, stupid policy failure with outcomes that are both cruel and costly - it's great to see coverage in the mainstream press.

Death statistic for #homeless people are terrifying. 741 homeless people died in 2021 35% of deaths were due to drug poisoning 13.4% suicide (<1% in general pop.) 9.6% alcohol-related So well over half homeless deaths are so-called deaths by despair. www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...

I'm definitely a procaffeinator. It's dangerous for me to do anything (other than put on the coffee machine) until sufficiently caffeinated.

Yep. Definitely. Struggling to find homelessness peeps here so far!
