Important report that shows we have more to do to improve diversity across the sector. I really hope we see more diverse leadership and improve empathy for tenants and deliver more tailored services

Today we launch our new EDI report📊 This report provides a detailed analysis of where change is happening, where it has been slower, and what’s still required. Together, we can build a truly inclusive and representative sector. 👇 housing.org.uk/edi-report-2023

Older people’s housing can provide so many benefits for people - we need to showcase and celebrate this and provide a range of options. It won’t suit all but offers a new life and community for many. We need to build more including social rent and shared ownership giving choice

Without #supportedhousing, 41,000 more people would be homeless and another 30,000 at risk, and we would need 14,000 more inpatient psychiatric places, 2,500 more places in residential care and 2,000 more prison places (due to licences/court orders being revoked). #StartsAtHome

#StartsatHome on 1st Sept, is a chance to tell all political parties how they can deliver for #SupportedHousing & its residents. Were it not for #SupportedHousing, 41,000 more people would be homeless, with a further 30,000 at risk of homelessness. 👉startsathome.org.uk/2023/07/12/wha…
