Bristol Housing Festival’s deputy project director, Jessie Wilde, talks about the many climate-conscious developments it is helping to grow and nurture.

Jamie Butcher has worked with Riverside for 20 years, helping support homeless people in and around the Cambridge area.

The extension to six-month notice periods for evictions and rules preventing bailiffs from entering homes were due to end this month.

Tracy Brabin visited two Connect Housing projects in Leeds that show how merging housing, health, and social care can effect lasting change.

Active Housing challenged staff to complete 2020 miles in 2020, and for every mile covered, they donated 50p to the White Chapel Centre.

The previous evictions ban was set to expire at the end of March, following an extension of the previous 21 February end-date.

In addition to providing accommodation for rough sleepers in some regions, Riverside is also supporting people housed under the NSAP scheme.

The Greater Manchester Housing First pilot project has helped house 200 people despite the restrictions brought about by the global pandemic.

The latest figures, published by the MHCLG, still represent a rise of up to 52% in the number of people sleeping rough in England since 2010.

The Close to Home 2021 report states a wider rollout of Housing First would be needed for the government to meet its goal of ending rough sleeping by 2024.
