Home is our country’s foundation
A secure home provides the building blocks for a happy and healthy life, and a fair housing system that protects everyone is the foundation of a thriving country. But, too many of us don’t have a safe place to call home and the housing emergency is everywhere we look.
Currently, one in three adults in Britain (that's 17.5 million people) are negatively affected by the housing emergency – living in overcrowded, dangerous, unstable or unaffordable housing.
Successive governments have ignored this year after year – failing to build more social homes which has pushed more and more people into expensive and insecure private renting. The impact of this has been devastating.
