I thought all the planning reform stuff looked really good and I'm glad that is now confirmed. #ukhousing

Rachel Reeves has pledged £39bn for social and affordable housing over the next 10 years. We revealed last month that over half of English councils hadn't approved the building of a single social rent home during the government’s first six months ⬇️

Just 6% of homes approved in Labour’s first six months were for social rent
Data from 119 English councils shows that council houses made up just 6% of planning approvals in Labour’s first half-year in office

Crimes against, & insults to, humanity, wildlife & the environment.
I give you the UK Housing industry.
Guilty as charged - take them down....
#UKHousing
Fifty new houses going up on a greenfield site near my tiny village, not a solar panel in sight. No infrastructure, almost no public transport. Pig ugly to boot. Why are we allowing this?

Just note that for all the initial noise, public relations & share price rises, 'Your First Home' (i.e. Help to Buy revisited) won't have anywhere near the impact that the initial 'Help to Buy' did (1/n)

People living in London's #socialhousing contribute almost £28 billion a year to the economy

A useful reminder that social housing isn't simply a cost.

How did government policy lead to the Grenfell disaster? And what can we do to help people still living in dangerous buildings?

These questions and more answered in tomorrow's session with @peteapps.bsky.social. If you're a housing activist, sign up now: homesforus.org.uk/campaigns/bu...

I know. Big shock here, but I still wanted to put it all in one place. In my latest Substack, I compiled the evidence from multiple pilots focused on homeless people to show that over and over again, cash reduces homelessness and also even reduces drug use.

Universal basic income is the way to go.
We Gave Homeless People Cash. They Bought Housing Not Drugs.
The evidence from Vancouver to Denver is undeniable: When people in crisis receive money, substance use goes down, employment goes up, and homelessness ends.
