What a powerful video! Let's change the conversation around housing and amplify the facts. Migrants and people seeking sanctuary are not the cause of the housing crisis.
Housing is a human right and everyone deserves a place to live in safety. 🧡
Watch the video below and please share it widely. 👇🏽
Brilliant video. Clear, powerful and grounded in facts. This is exactly the kind of conversation we need right now!
As Lunar New Year, Ramadan, and Lent begin at the same time. We send our wishes to all in our community celebrating these holy festivals and seasons. 🏮🌙

Yesterday, we welcomed our friends from @naccomnetwork.bsky.social to our ASSIST offices. 🏢
As founding members, we helped form this network in 2006. 20 years on, the urgency is stark. 4,434 people were housed by the network in 2024/25, the highest on record, including 1,509 people with NRPF. (1⬇)
In growing hostile times, when people seeking sanctuary are dehumanised, his visit and gesture are a powerful reminder of why we do this work. All thanks to your support. 🧡
