Glad to feature with @CanopyHousing Leeds in @HuffPost film on #emptyhomes #housingcrisis and community-based approaches to bringing England’s 216,000 long-term empty homes into use-with investment empty homes can transform lives and improve neighbourhoods

Homelessness in the UK has reached a record high while there are more than 227,000 empty homes around the country. Community groups like Canopy Housing, in Leeds are bringing empty homes back into...

8,100 people slept rough on London streets in 2016/17. 962,000 London households in poverty rent privately. 54,540 London households in #TemporaryAccommodation and #emptyhomes up 11% to 22,487 https://t.co/Kyxpcqxh4u … https://t.co/hv0JcW5DMd …
We all want to live in a society where people have what they need to get by. But over a quarter of Londoners live in poverty. High rents are a major driver of this. We need to build more social and affordable housing to address this problem. #ukhousing

A look at why 216,000 plus #emptyhomes are a canary in the coalmine for #ukhousing policy. England's #housingcrisis is one of supply, affordability and quality and these wasted homes speak to all 3 and underline issues of exclusion, regional disparity and financialisation
Chris Bailey of Action on @emptyhomes addresses the question of exactly why is so much of England’s #housing stock empty at a time of national #HousingCrisis

@SusieD_LON @noelito @Airbnb @Samara @AlistairParvin @MattLeach_ @CescaAlbanese @CommonwealCEO @emptyhomes Yeah, agreed, interesting. Read a bit more here https://t.co/Zo5Pg0TPUI and although interesting I’m not convinced creating homes with extra space for Airbnb-ing is solving any of London’s housing issues 🤷♀️ Seems rather niche what they’re doing

Lancet editorial: "Government is changing the values on which society is based from social protection to social hardship as a route to social re-engineering. #Homelessness is increasing: up 60% since 2010. Food poverty is increasing. In-work poverty is increasing."
"After years of denial, UK politicians and leaders can no longer stay blind, silent, and inactive when faced by the unnecessary suffering of an increasing number of its people. These are not British values."

Very interesting read! I have always suspected the Local Housing Allowance. @drchrisoleary

More #London private renters live in poverty than social renters. 962,000 London private renters live in #poverty. Of 79,880 households in temporary accommodation in England over half are placed by London Boroughs while #emptyhomes rise 5% to 216,000 nationally and 11% in London
We have borough by borough data about poverty and inequality in London. Head to London’s Poverty Profile to find out more. https://t.co/D1flk6CqYl

All of the fundamental areas in Housing that are simply broken here in the UK! Where to start??? I am interested in linking up with anyone interested in the area of 'private renting' access for tenants in receipt of housing benefit. https://t.co/7bQQnEweJl

Looking forward to Thursday's session with Professor Gina Neff, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford @ginasue DOES THE HIGH-TECH FUTURE NEED WORKERS. It will be interesting to see how it links to predictions such as the work by @CentreforCities
centreforcities.org
Cities Outlook 2018 shows that automation and globalisation will boost jobs across the country, but may increase divides.

The biggest takeaway from this https://t.co/1pllQ121o9
@BMPattison was that landlords have been exiting the rental market over the past few years. This will only put higher pressure on individuals being able to find housing in the future, especially social tenants under 35.
