Great to be at @homelesslink.bsky.social rough sleeping conference yesterday. Talking about the need for a asylum move-on process which prevents, rather than causes, destitution, and hearing about the brilliant work @mustardtreemcr.bsky.social are doing in Manchester.

From Wednesday's Parliament debate on children rough sleeping. Shameful that in 2026, this needs to be discussed.

But heartening to hear MPs praise charities supporting all people facing the danger of rough sleeping. Thanks @bayoalaba.bsky.social & all others

Homelessness hits new high among refugees as thousands now sleeping on streets Homelessness among refugees has skyrocketed in England in recent years, with charities claiming more needs to be done to prevent that number from rising even further

More evidence that a truly effective cross-government approach to homelessness needs to include more action from the Home Office.

With @naccomnetwork.bsky.social we're campaigning for an asylum system that prevents - rather than causes - homelessness

Could 'senseless' housing benefit freeze be scrapped by Rachel Reeves? Campaigners are hoping the controversial freeze on local housing allowance rates will be increased to catch up with sky-high rents.

"Unfreezing the allowance would undoubtedly make rents more affordable and have a significant impact on the number of people facing homelessness."

Our Head of Policy Sophie Boobis quoted on speculation LHA rates may be unfrozen in next week's Budget

Great to join this powerful @crisis-uk.bsky.social message to the Chancellor yesterday.

Our members know low Local Housing Allowance rates are driving the record levels of homelessness we are seeing right now. Next week's budget is a chance to start turning the tide.
