An infographic criticising government funding, with text that reads "Public money is being paid to privat companies to provide terrible asylum accommodation. It's time to invest in social housingβso everyone, no matter their immigration status, has a safe, secure place to call home." The upper part of the image shows a silhouette marked with against a height chart background, overlaid with a red X. Below, an image of three people happily interacting at a table.
Itβs time to invest in communities and social homes, not private pockets.
The government is handing money to companies that make huge profits from housing people seeking safety in appalling conditions.
But this could be used to fund a joined-up, local approach to housing people seeking safety.
