About this Event
Unaffordable housing is destroying our lives.
housingdemo.org
Private rents across England have risen by almost a third since the pandemic. Rents and service costs are spiraling for social tenants too, while millions of us are unable to access social housing at all. Sky-high housing costs mean we work two jobs, and cut back on essentials to get by. We fear being pushed out by a rent rise, too scared to complain about conditions that make our kids sick. All the while, developers hollow out our communities, demolishing homes and building luxury flats we can never afford.
The UK has the highest levels of homelessness in the developed world. In some schools, one child in every class is homeless, while councils shell out billions to private equity firms for temporary accommodation.
This can’t go on. Now is the time to fight back.
We need housing that’s affordable and secure. We need a planning system that protects the environment, communities and homes. We need council housing, not private equity firms. We need a government that prioritises spending on council housing not guns and bombs. We need rent controls, not 20% annual rent rises. We need change, and we need it now.
Join us at the Natonal Housing Demo in London on April 18th.
