All UK homeless citizens should be prioritised for hotel accommodation
We believe that no one should be living on the streets. Many of these individuals are ex-servicemen, and support does not seem to be available to everyone in our society. In contrast, millions is spent every day on hotel accommodations for people who have entered the UK illegally.
Require the Decent Homes Standard to be extended to all asylum accommodation
We demand the Government to require that all asylum accommodation meets the Decent Homes Standard, as we are concerned many asylum seekers are housed in substandard, unsafe and inhumane conditions. Unlike social housing, not all asylum accommodation is legally required to meet this standard.
Stop asylum seekers being given housing in military establishments
To house these people that are coming over to the United Kingdom in military establishments is not appropriate, when so many ex Armed forces personal are living rough on their own streets
Require landlords to sell vacant properties to house homeless and refugees
With over 700,000 empty homes, 170,000 vacant commercial properties, and around 350,000 homeless people, taxpayers shouldn’t bear the housing burden. Empty properties could be sold to investors committed to easing homelessness for a minimum of two years post-purchase.
Extend Awaab's Law and the Decent Homes Standard to all temporary accommodation
Awaab's Law is one of the most significant pieces of legislation to come into force to tackle damp and mould in housing. We want the government to implement the extension of the Decent Homes Standard (DHS) and Awaab’s law to all temporary accommodation as soon as possible.
