@mel-williams.bsky.social and Sarah McClinton, both past Presidents of ADASS, join @impower.bsky.social for a session on how councils can replace siloed services with a more inclusive, lifelong approach to supporting young people into adulthood. #ncasc25

A tomorrow's Autumn Budget, we are asking Chancellor Rachel Reeves to save our supported housing with emergency funding – ensuring that families just like Mawushi's have the support they need to live independently. 🔗Read Mawushi's full story here: startsathome.org.uk/stories/mawu...

We warmly welcome the news that, for the first time, housing status has been included in @nhsengland.bsky.social's Statement of Information on Health Inequalities, setting out what information Trusts and Integrated Care Boards should collect to meet their equalities duties.

Two-thirds of councils in England have not prosecuted a single landlord in the past three years www.rightsnet.org.uk/now/post/68939

Our latest survey of Directors of adult social services, published today, shows that high-cost social care for young adults has risen by almost a third in the past year. Read the report: adass.org.uk/documents/ad... #AutumnSurvey2025 #AutumnBudget2025 #NCASC2025

Councils need to invest in supported housing as well as general needs social housing to cut the temporary accommodation bill. Decommissioning supported housing is a false economy www.insidehousing.co.uk/news/council... @insidehousing.bsky.social

23,500 young people facing homelessness this winter in worsening crisis, warns leading charity via @the-independent.com www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home... The article shows how important #supportedhousing is to help young people make the transition to adulthood, and avoid homelessness

Domestic abuse is a housing issue. The cycle of abuse and homelessness is one we can and must break. Thank you to @kathyswinds.bsky.social & @insidehousing.bsky.social www.insidehousing.co.uk/comment/supporting-survivors-of-domestic-abuse-must-be-core-to-our-fight-against-homelessness-94622

‪Public Law Project‬ ‪@publiclawproject.bsky.social‬ · 5m 🚨 New research: DWP sanctions are counterproductive 🚨 Our study with the Central England Law Centre reveals that #UniversalCredit sanctions fail on their own terms and causes serious hardship. publiclawproject.org.uk/latest/sanct...

"Adopting a whole housing approach for those fleeing domestic abuse is essential. We need more #supportedhousing schemes that recognise that healing and rebuilding a life requires more than just a roof overhead." Important point from @paulabarkermp.bsky.social

Today West Streeting recommitted to plans made earlier in the year to abolish NHS England (NHSE). This plan will now move forward, following arrangements made with the Treasury. Find out more about what the dismantling of NHSE might mean. https://bit.ly/49OiQ7K

How do we make affordable homeownership accessible for disabled people? by @advancehousing.bsky.social www.insidehousing.co.uk/comment/how-...

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👇

💯#Supportedhousing takes pressure off statutory services and saves taxpayers £3.5bn per year www.housing.org.uk/resources/th...

October is Domestic Abuse Awareness Month Home should mean safety - not fear, but too many women are being forced to choose between abuse and homelessness. Read our latest blog to learn more. www.porchlight.org.uk/news/the-lin... #DomesticAbuseAwarenessMonth #EndHomelessness

Reading "The implications of population ageing for social policy" - including #housing commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri... via @houseofcommons.parliament.uk Library

At the Autumn Budget, the government must #SaveOurSupportedHousing by committing to emergency funding. Without this, we risk losing even more of the vital homes that hundreds of thousands of people rely on. 🔗Our Head of Policy writes more in LocalGov: www.localgov.co.uk/Autumn-Budge...

Completely agree with @margaretmullanemp.bsky.social

This is also another consequence of failing to invest in #supportedhousing: "the domestic abuse sector and the meeting of women’s needs have seen drastic cuts to funding as part of the country’s programme of austerity." Article by @kbrickell.bsky.social and Mel Nowicki

My latest housing article via @CentralComment. I call for a reintroduction of ring-fenced grant for supported housing and make the case for it to be a compulsory feature in all developments of scale. 🏠👇 commentcentral.co.uk/the-case-for...

Cutting local authority funding is a false economy, as it pushes costs onto other public services. This is seen acutely when #supportedhousing is defunded - pushing costs onto homelessness, social care and hospital services.

No child should have to grow up in temporary accommodation. Yet in June 172,420 children – a population higher than Oxford – were. This shocking new MHCLG data is why we're committed to working with the government to deliver the social homes needed to end this rising crisis.

On #WorldHomelessnessDay and #WorldMentalHealthDay we're reflecting on Storm’s story. Supported housing is a lifeline for those who need support to live safe and happy lives. Gov't must commit to emergency funding at Autumn Budget to #SaveOurSupportedHousing. startsathome.org.uk/stories/stor...

I have finally managed to watch this amazing documentary by @chrisgpackham.bsky.social for the BBC - great to see supported housing featured in the programme too www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

This needs to be invested into accommodation (supported housing) to be effective

Social care in there twice - the govt could do worse than focusing on that
