Social homes are affordable to everyone. That’s why they have provided the foundation for millions of people who have shaped our culture and society in incredible ways.
That's why we're joining @sheltercharity.bsky.social to call on government to #BuildSocialHousing.

When we build social homes, we’re building so much more. These homes are where great stories can begin – stories that can change our history, our culture and our everyday lives. It's time to get councils building social homes again > shelter.org.uk/build

People in need shouldn't wait years for a safe and secure home #buildsocialhousing
📈 The public housing waitlist in NSW has surged by 15 per cent in just one year.
Thousands of people are being left behind, stuck in unsafe rentals, couch surfing or homeless, because there simply aren’t enough affordable homes.
