So proud to be shortlisted for the Public Affairs Campaign award at the 2026 @cipr.co.uk Excellence Awards. The recognition reflects years of work to help secure £40bn+ of long‑term investment in affordable homes, enabling the sector to deliver the #SocialHomes the country desperately needs.

Last week we co‑hosted a roundtable with @rcpsych.bsky.social and Look Ahead on supported housing and mental health care. A shortage of supported housing is driving delayed discharge, readmissions and pressure across services. It must be treated and funded as a core part of mental health care.

We strongly welcome the Renters’ Rights Act, the biggest overhaul of landlord & tenant law in decades. No fault evictions cause untold upheaval & put low income families at risk of #homelessness Housing associations are working hard to build the #SocialHomes families need.

Latest figures show child homelessness is at a record high, with the number of households in temporary accommodation doubling in a decade and 68,000 households newly homeless in 2025. Housing associations are working to deliver the homes desperately needed to end this crisis.

We welcome this important report from the HCLG Committee, which recognises the social housing sector’s role in providing safe and decent places to live. publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5901/cm...

We support the purpose of the Economic Crime Levy to fund the fight against money laundering, but housing associations face disproportionately high fees. This money should be spent building urgently needed social housing and delivering the government’s housebuilding targets.

We welcome phase two of the government’s New Homes Accelerator Programme, which will have a positive impact for our members and support them at a local level to deliver the affordable homes urgently needed across the country. www.gov.uk/government/n...

"I want the Government to understand how much supported housing helps people get where they need to be.” Living in supported housing 'changes everything' for people like Mark, yet one in 10 supported housing schemes are at imminent risk of closure.

Today is our last working day before the festive break. ☃️We hope that everyone has a wonderful and relaxing Christmas holiday! 📆We'll see you in the New Year, when we are back on Friday 2 January.

It is very welcome to see the Planning and Infrastructure Act receive Royal Assent. With over 170,000 children in temporary accommodation, it's essential that we pull every lever to ramp up the delivery of truly affordable homes. Planning reform is an essential part of this.

It's devastating that the majority of teachers work in schools where children experience homelessness. The impact that living in temporary accommodation has on a child's education and health cannot be underestimated. Only through building #SocialHousing can we end this crisis.

We are determined to work with the government and build the social homes needed to end the homelessness crisis. Our CEO, and member of the government’s Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Expert Group, Kate Henderson, responds to today's homelessness strategy: www.housing.org.uk/news-and-blo...

We strongly welcome government plans to help children out of temporary accommodation. No child should grow up in this environment yet, in June 2025, 172,420 children were. To end this crisis for good we will work with the government to deliver the social homes urgently needed.

Flooding, England's "greatest natural hazard", poses grave danger to all of our homes. We and our members are committed to protecting residents and their homes. But strategic, national planning and funding for long-term resilience is vital. A powerful piece from @johnharris1969.bsky.social 👇

An important piece from Paula Barker MP on the cycle of domestic abuse and homelessness. This is why supported housing schemes for survivors of abuse are so vital – schemes which are increasingly at risk of closing due to huge cuts to funding. We must #SaveOurSupportedHousing.

No child should have to experience poverty. Yet, it's the reality for 4.5 million children in the UK. That's why we’ve joined over 100 others in calling on the government to scrap the two-child limit. Every child deserves the best start in life. Read more below.

Supported housing transforms lives whilst taking pressure off the public purse. We need to see investment in supported housing at the Autumn Budget, with long-term funding in the government's housing strategy and homelessness strategy. A great piece from Home Group👇

Today’s MHCLG announcement sends a clear signal that social and affordable housing remains a pillar of the government’s housebuilding ambitions. We're committed to working in partnership with the government to deliver the homes our country needs. Our Chief Executive, Kate Henderson, comments👇

Important piece from @mattdownie.bsky.social. At the Autumn Budget, the government has the opportunity to tackle homelessness by unfreezing local housing allowance to match increased rent costs – support that would alleviate poverty and prevent more people becoming homeless.
