The Bill to stop rogue landlords exploiting people living in exempt accommodation has passed a key test in the House of Lords!
We’re one step closer to transforming lives of 1000s of people forced to live with the misery of unregulated supported housing. crisis.org.uk/about-us/lates…
A huge thank you to everyone that has been part of our #RegulateTheRogues campaign so far.
We are so grateful to those who bravely shared their own experiences. And to all of you that have kept the pressure on politicians to act. Thank you❤️
So, what’s next? The Bill will face further scrutiny before hopefully receiving Royal Assent – which is when it officially becomes law.
You can keep the pressure on by sharing a message from Richard, Sam and Hannah with Michael Gove, asking him to make sure the Bill passes as soon as possible: campaigns.crisis.org.uk/page/121439/ac…

THREAD: Today the Government publishes its rough sleeping strategy which includes some important measures to help those in immediate need on the streets. However, it falls short addressing the root causes of rough sleeping. (1/5)
If we're to end rough the problem by 2027, we urgently need to see enough social homes built for those on the lowest incomes and those experiencing homelessness. (2/5)
We also need to see housing benefit that covers the cost of renting. Thousands of people across the country are unable to keep up with rising rents. Some end up on friend's sofas or in temporary accommodation. Many end up on the streets. (3/5)
