NEW: the number of households threatened with homelessness & owed a prevention duty because of Section 21 is the highest on record (25,910 over the last year).🏡 Homelessness will continue to rise unless the Government strengthens the Renters (Reform) Bill to protect renters.📃
🗣️ "Try completing three forty-page forms, collating reems of evidence, requesting three mandatory reconsiderations, attending three tribunals'" ❌ Claiming for PIP is not easy❌
A new consultation on PIP launched by DWP Secretary Mel Stride this evening says, "many people have a good assessment experience." But what is it like to go through it? We've heard people's actual experience. The government should hear them too 🔽🧵
🗣️ More research is not needed; action is needed. Action to reduce poverty can be taken almost immediately. @MichaelMarmot and @bmj_latest recommend introducing the Essentials Guarantee into Universal Credit to ensure everyone can afford the essentials: bmj.com/content/385/bm
New @jrf_uk report out today that looks to deepen the understanding of the relationship between early years childcare, work and incomes in Scotland. The case for change is clear... jrf.org.uk/child-poverty/…
🗣️ By reducing early years childcare costs, we can increase household disposable income, with the biggest impact for low-income families. 1 in 4 children are living in poverty in Scotland. 📢 JRF calls for childcare to include under 3s in Scotland to reduce this number 🔽 🧵
The Renters Reform Bill ends no fault evictions in name only. What does this mean? Thread below ... 🧵

The current version of the Renters Reform Bill isn't one that works for renters. Renters should be at the heart of this bill, and they're not. Renters need security & affordability - both of which need to be prioritised, as we face an environment of soaring rents and evictions.

In @plend_uk's Financial Inclusion Report, @r_earwaker from @jrf_uk says the fact that more & more people are being forced to turn to high cost credit or illegal lending is a "clear wake-up call for decision-makers". Read the full report here 👇 plend.com/inclusion-repo…
🗣️ Almost two thirds of people in destitution live with a chronic health condition or disability. Cutting people’s eligibility for benefits won't help. The PM's speech was an irresponsible war of words on people who already aren’t getting enough support. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi….
Private rent growth is now seriously outpacing general inflation. @jrf_uk we've looked at the picture since April 21, when prices really began to take off. Private rental growth (9.1%) on average across Great Britain is now almost 3 times as high as overall inflation (3.2%).

Wow I would love it if the rent I pay for my **room in a shared flat** was less than what the 39 hectare golf course pays

The Government has repealed the Victorian era Vagrancy act and seem to want to replace it with Orwellian legislation that will fine or imprison 'nuisance' rough sleepers. Charities supporting people experiencing homelessness know this isn't the solution. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Did you know that if you are experiencing homelessness, you can still vote? ⌛️ If you’re not registered, there’s still time. But the deadline is coming soon. 🗳️ Register to vote now, before 16 April – it only takes 5 minutes: shltr.org.uk/tflbO
New @ONS housing affordability stats for England & Wales out today. This chart emphasises a huge societal problem - since '97 house prices have grown by 4.5x while earnings only doubled. Houses shouldn't be lining pockets faster than our labour but have been winning the race.
Today's official statistics paint a bleak picture of poverty in the UK 3 in 10 children live in poverty - but even that hides some shockingly high levels of poverty in some groups Child poverty has increased in Bangladeshi households, where 2 in 3 children now live in poverty

Grim indeed - and chimes with what we're hearing from our advisers. One we heard from recently: "It's scary as it feels like the whole housing system is about to fall over." As the RRB heads to the Lords, security for renters has never felt more urgently needed.
New homelessness stats out today make pretty grim reading - couple of standouts: 1. More people threatened with homelessness after getting a Section 21 notice, up 10.9% in Oct-Dec 2023 compared to the year before - Renters Reform Bill never more needed
Essential listening from the @TheNewsAgents on the experiences of families with children stranded in temporary accommodation here open.spotify.com/episode/1EDVxh…
Record numbers of private renters threatened with homelessness because of Section 21 and the Government can't even put a date on when S21 will finally be abolished. The lack of urgency is embarrassing.
NEW: the number of households threatened with homelessness & owed a prevention duty because of Section 21 is the highest on record (25,910 over the last year).🏡 Homelessness will continue to rise unless the Government strengthens the Renters (Reform) Bill to protect renters.📃

New homelessness numbers in England out today and the headline is: *Everything* going in the wrong direction. - Record high numbers assessed as homeless/ threatened with homelessness over the last year. - Record high numbers in temporary accom, including numbers of kids.
Tomorrow we begin recording our in-depth, original podcast series into Britain’s housing crisis, building on our 3 year investigation. Social housing conditions to the private rental crisis to a rise in homelessness. How we got here, where we go now. Can’t wait for you to hear it
