Fantastic thread from the Financial Times on Britain’s #TemporaryAccommodation crisis highlights the need to build more social housing, and to benefits. We Trust for London are also joining others to call for better standards in TA, with national regulation. And also #EndSection21 for real.
When it comes to appropriate #housing and solutions to structural inequalities… ‘we don’t always need the big changes, we need to go back to basics’ - Prof Monica Lakhanpaul
