Rachel Reeves’ decision to change the fiscal rules paves the way for public investment. Her critics will say it’s wrong, that the government shouldn’t borrow to spend. But look around Britain at what happens when they don’t…creaking infrastructure and record homelessness…

Great to see Rachel Blake ask the PM about his cross-govt plan to end homelessness. We agree Kier Starmer - we can end homelessness once and for all! #Budget2024 was an important first step, now we need swift action on this long-term plan to ensure everyone has a safe, secure home

Too many families are facing Christmas without a stable place to call home. Today I joined Sadiq Khan at a @Crisis_UK warehouse to meet their brilliant volunteers and see the work they do to change the lives of people experiencing homelessness.

The services homeless charities provide can be a lifeline to those sleeping rough. Good to visit the @Crisis_UK warehouse with Angela Rayner. This winter, we’re providing Crisis and St Mungo's with Ā£300,000 funding to extend winter services until the end of January.

Following the Govt's announcement of £1bn funding to tackle homelessness, our Director of Policy & Social Change, Francesca Albanese spoke to Channel 5 News to emphasise that this must be invested in long term solutions including more social housing.

This Christmas, @Crisis_UK will provide accommodation to more than 570 people in London who would otherwise be sleeping rough. Our Ā£300,000 additional funding will help extend vital accommodation into Jan 2025. It’s an important step in people’s journeys out of homelessness.

It's unacceptable that Josh and thousands of children like him don't have a home. We need 90,000 social homes a year to end homelessness. But how did we get here? Read Martina Lees's excellent deep dive: bit.ly/3WpRgq7

🚨No, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke. 🤔 As of today (1 April), housing benefits are frozen until 2026. This is pushing people deeper into poverty and towards homelessness.

In today’s spending review Rachel Reeves confirmed the Govt will invest Ā£39 billion in social & affordable homes over the next decade. This is hugely welcome and could mean the start of a massive shift in how our society tackles homelessness.
