30% Homes for Social Rent in all new developments: Why now is the time for Manchester’s Executive Committee to take a stand on the housing crisis. socialhomes4mcr.org.uk/post/30-homes-… #housing #Manchester #HousingCrisis

"The clue is on the tin: it is Social Rent we need. I've had enough of saying "so-called affordable housing" because it's not affordable at all." Bishop David raised the instability experienced by some of our city's most disadvantaged children and the disruption to education.

Bishop David - "It's only quite recently we have come to understand trauma in this country; and for young people in Temporary Accommodation, this has damaged their life chances forever". #30PercentSocialRent #EndtheCrisis @bevcraig @gavinwhite76 @AndyBurnhamGM

🧵 (1/3) Our Commission Chair Bishop Dr David Walker is currently participating in a panel on the #TemporaryAccommodation emergency at #Housing2025...

(2/3) There are now over 4.5 thousand children living in TA in Manchester. The ONLY way to address this crisis is through increased availability and delivery of Homes for Social Rent.

(3/3) @SocialHomes4Mcr are calling on @bevcraig and @gavinwhite76 to include a minimum target of 30% Homes for Social Rent in the new Local Plan. #SocialHomes4MCR

Section 21 No Fault Eviction reach highest in 2024 since 2016, with >32,380 households in England being taken to court by landlords to evict them. This is precisely why we need to significantly accelerate increasing the stock of council & social homes! standard.co.uk/homesandproper…

This week @IanByrneMP was right to call out the scapegoating of migrants for the housing emergency. We have record levels of homelessness because we have not built enough council or social rent homes. #SocialHousingNotScapegoating
