New figures from the Museum of Homelessness & @ncmd.bsky.social reveal 51 children experiencing homelessness died in the UK in 2025. 63% of them were under one year old. All local authorities should be required to record and report homeless deaths in their area, including children.

The Together Service is featured as a best-practice example in new @ukhsa.bsky.social guidance on supporting vaccination of people experiencing homelessness. Our work supporting families & children in temporary accommodation has contributed to improved healthcare access & immunisation uptake.

We are deeply concerned by the report on @goodmorningbritain.bsky.social of a woman being sexually assaulted in temporary accommodation. No one should ever face harm in a place meant to provide safety. Our thoughts are with her and with all families who deserve secure, dignified housing.

We welcome @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social's commitment in the Social Housing Bill debate to pursue changing legislation if guidance is insufficient. This would help reduce barriers for families who have survived domestic abuse to move out of temporary accommodation.
