We are in a housing crisis: We need at least 167,000 more supported homes by 2040. Without this, many people who could live independently, with support, will face long-term stays in residential or institutional care, or even homelessness. That's why we need a long-term plan for housing. Nicole Jeffries AssocRICS 🏳️🌈 #PlanForHousing #HousingCrisis #UKHousing #SupportedHomes #NationalHousingFederation

Over the last year we have helped 1917 households with their housing enquiries and opened 657 cases. We are seeing a rise in demand for emergency housing advice as illegal evictions continue. More and more clients are experiencing unaffordable rent increases as the cost of living puts pressure on landlords and our demand for homelessness prevention continues to increase. You can see our full impact in our 2022-23 Annual Report: https://lght.ly/n02eobl

"Today, the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing a major homelessness case for the first time in decades, with arguments over whether people can be punished for sleeping outside if there's no shelter available. The decision could have sweeping implications for the record number of people living in tents and cars, and the cities and states struggling to manage them." -NPR, April 22 While KulshanCLT does not actively serve folks that are experiencing homelessness, we are always aware that issues across the spectrum of housing are interconnected. The rising cost of housing and the limited number of available, affordable housing opportunities make this a crisis that deserves our collective attention. Let's pay attention to what's happening across the full spectrum of housing nationally. Let's work together with likeminded partners across sectors to ensure access to affordable housing for all. And let's make sure that our response is one of humanity and solidarity first. "Even where places are investing heavily to create more affordable housing, it will take a while to catch up. This Supreme Court case won't solve any of that, but it could dramatically shape the lives of those forced to live on streets, parks and back alleys for years to come." -NPR, April 22 #AffordableHousing #AffordableHomeownership #KulshanCLT #CommunityLandTrust #BellinghamWA #WhatcomCounty #SCOTUS

Some skeptics suggest that housing shortages serve as a method of population control, citing concerns about the sustainability of current population growth, whether through migration or births. They liken it to natural selection, where limited housing availability may favor those who can afford it, potentially limiting the ability of the homeless to thrive. However, I believe that with strategic planning and effective policies, we can ensure accommodation for all as our population grows, leaving no one behind. Australia's vast expanse offers ample opportunity for innovative solutions to address these challenges. We just need passionate professionals working towards a solution.
