94,000 children #homeless in temporary accommodation, in one city! 594 children in #Bournemouth (BCP). Not enough money in it for the developers! #PeopleBeforeProfit #EnoughIsEnough #BuildAffordableHomes

With over 94,000 children in temporary accommodation in London, the need for social homes has never been more urgent.

It's worrying to see developers are pushing to water down affordable housing requirements.

Everyone should be treated with respect when trying to access social housing – but Black people are more likely to be affected.

This form of systemic racism is often hidden below the surface and embedded within the housing system.

The government will subsidise private landlord's income by over £70bn - wow. 6 times the affordable housing budget! It's time to put our housing before landlords income #PeopleBeforeProfit #SocialHousing #BuildSocialHomes #EndTheHousingEmergency

New Economics Foundation @neweconomics.bsky.social · Sep 11

Over 5 years, this government will subsidise private landlords' income by over £70bn - that's more than six times the affordable housing budget (£11.5bn).

We're using public funds to prop up the private-rented sector.

No one should feel dehumanised when trying to find somewhere safe and secure to live. Black people and other People of Colour should be treated fairly and with respect when applying for social housing.

Experiencing racism when trying to secure a social home leaves applicants feeling dehumanised.

If I published this video next week, I could be sent to prison for 14 years.

That’s for expressing support for Palestine Action, who take direct action to stop genocide.

We are heading to a very dark place.
