Right now, millions of us are struggling to afford the safe, stable home we need for a healthy life.
With too few social homes available, people on low incomes are forced into private renting, where soaring rents and frozen housing benefits are leaving them at risk of homelessness.
Housing benefits are meant to help people keep their home. It should cover the cheapest 30% of local rents, but now just 2.7% of homes in Great Britain are affordable to those relying on it.
This is pushing people deeper into poverty and towards homelessness. No one should be forced to make impossible choices between rent, heating and food. This stress can be devastating to people’s mental and physical health.
Yet the UK Government is keeping housing benefits frozen until at least 2026 — effectively a cut. If they're serious about ending homelessness, they must restore housing benefits to match the real cost of rents.
MPs have the power to challenge this — but they need to hear from you.
