More than 50 charities and housing bodies have called on Rishi Sunak, Sir Keir Starmer and Sir Ed Davey to make ending homelessness a major priority in the next government and commit to building 90,000 social homes per year.
With rough sleeping up by 27 per cent in the year up to autumn 2023, charities are calling for the major parties to commit to building tens of thousands of social homes per year over the next decade. They are also calling for politicians to ensure that housing benefits keep on track with rising rents in private sector.
