Summary:

The housing emergency is millions of people denied a safe home.
The housing emergency is thousands of families stuck in temporary accommodation.
The housing emergency is people living on the streets.

It's thousands of private renters paying too much for too little, unable to complain in case they are evicted.

And it’s all those denied a home through discrimination because of their race, sexuality, gender or disability.

Unaffordable. Unfit. Unstable. Discriminatory. This is our housing system.

We commissioned research with 13,000 people to bring to light the extent of the housing emergency and this report shows what we found.
