🗣️Steve Morgan CBE, Chairman of @stevemorganfdn.bsky.social

'Housing First begins with a simple but powerful principle: a permanent home.

It’s rooted in common sense, recognising no one can rebuild their life whilst trapped in a cycle of homelessness, emergency accommodation and crisis services.'

🚨NEW: Rough sleeping has doubled since Covid. But there is a solution.

Together with @metromayorsteve.bsky.social and @andyburnham.bsky.social, we are calling for Housing First to be rolled out nationwide following the success of regional pilots🤝

Our new report, No Place Like Home, explains why👇

Our grants support not-for-profit organisations that focus on tackling the root causes of social disadvantage that negatively impact on the lives of children, young people, & their families. We want to support long term, sustainable solutions to improving education, access to provision & employment
