Quick reminder for shared owners, if you haven't already contacted the Public Bill Committee to tell them you support a review of shared ownership, put it on your to-do list for this weekend. 🙏
Check the post below for more info.

What do you mean you’ve hired the housing director that was in place at the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in the lead-up to the Grenfell fire which killed 72 people?
Leading a department that treated residents like shit.
Have Barnet seniors completely lost their minds?

Lord Fuller:
“Peers have heard how [registered social landlords] have been caught out behaving in a predatory manner with instances of sharp practice and acting far removed from the social purpose they say guides their every activity. The House of Lords saw through this bluster”

“I love my home, garden and the area. I just wish it wasn’t shared ownership. I feel like it was almost mis-sold to me as affordable housing, but instead, I am trapped in a situation where I am paying more and more.”

The appointment of the despicable James Purnell as Andy Burnham's chief of staff is the clearest signal yet that disabled people are going to be Burnham's target.

We need to talk about Josh Simons - and his relationship with Andy Burnham and Labour.

They know shared ownership is a one sided money making scheme so the people who provide them will never lose out. Compounding interest mortgages require specialist legal advice yet compounding rent schemes don’t?!

🆕 The Housing Select Committee has published its report on homeownership affordability.
It concludes:
👉 "Shared ownership (...) is not a long-term affordable option for many of the buyers to whom it is marketed."

Good post shared ownership has honest intentions, sadly execution has left many feeling ripped off.
Shared Ownership is marketed as affordable housing.
What's not mentioned in the marketing:
Rent on the unsold equity escalates every year (can easily double over 15 years).
Service charges compound hard — up 55% nationally, 64% in London in a decade.
You’re still liable for 100% of repairs on a home you only part-own.
Thread coming...

SHAC in the News - Thx @guardian for highlighting that in 20% of council areas across England not a single social home was built in the last two years.

SHAC's comment that the housing emergency is now actively exploited by private landlords and housing associations who convert traditional homes into temp accomm to lease to councils at extortionate rents. We need real change.

“We need a fundamentally different approach to the provision of public housing. This demands massive, sustained investment in council housing.” @mtpennycook and @SteveReedMP need to stop blind support for landlords & developers and start listening to communities.

He repeatedly asked for an invoice to clear debts a year after move to Universal Credit
Another needless death from the hands of Gov

A man with *STAGE 4* Incurable Brain Tumour is being forced to move onto the 15th floor of a Tower block or make himself intentionally homeless.
He has mobility issues from chemo and his doctors have previously written to Thurrock council.

To tackle the Housing Crisis, you have to be bold.
The Greens have just set THE benchmark in tackling the Housing Crisis👇🏽

LKP and NLC are not the legitimate representatives of the leaseholders of the UK and they have not been effective in holding the government to account for failing to abolish leasehold and for misleading leaseholders that they would do that.

More than a fifth of British children born after 2013 spent at least half their childhood in poverty - a direct consequence of the welfare cuts imposed by Conservative governments that stripped tens of billions of pounds a year from the incomes of low-income families, a major new study by the University of Oxford has found.
