(Don't Mention the Housing Crisis)
I've just signed up to support this National Housing Federation (NHF) campaign.
They are right that during the general election the housing crisis was hardly mentioned.
Yet "over a million children live in overcrowded accommodation"...it may "take 30 years" for some people to save up to buy a home....we are "building fewer homes" now since the second world war yet we "have 4.5 million people in housing need". The icing on the cake is they estimate that Treasury plans ‘will cut off 400,000 of society’s most vulnerable’.
Contact your MP to support the campaign via the website (it takes 2 minutes)
