@srcdoyle Many thanks for your help over the last few months supporting people who come into the shop. There are loud opposing voices who say a lot, but do a little. Not all good deeds are broadcast, but we both know the work being done. Thankyou Sarah #IWD
@liamrobinson24 and I have consistently lobbied government against policy which is feeding this homelessness crisis. We need no fault evictions banned, LHA to reflect market rents, and investment in social house building. We still await a response from the minister.
Last year we opened an emergency hub to protect rough sleepers. I’m proud @LiverpoolLabour budget increases funding for homelessness prevention and protection.
Real prevention means people will face less risk and we can invest money into future plans to build council houses.
Homelessness statics published today are a damming indictment of government failure. A record number 109,000 households in temporary accommodation.
Despite challenging financial circumstances, @LiverpoolLabour budget has committed to investing £14.2m in homeless services.
