Thank you to @BrentwoodRC for inviting us to your Caritas Networking Event on Saturday. It was great to meet so many people passionate about ending homelessness in the community. The generous act of fundraising makes such a difference to those facing homelessness in East London.
We're incredibly proud to be finalists in two categories for the upcoming @_HousingHeroes Awards! Read on to hear about Shannon and John, who have made the shortlist for the award ceremony held in Manchester later this year: bit.ly/3Qfmkp9
Our latest guest blog is from Tresca at @PositiveEast, a sexual health organisation who visit Your Place regularly to meet with our residents to support their sexual health and wellbeing. Read the guest blog at: bit.ly/3W8pgrF
Thanks to the Anderson Charitable Trust, who have funded 'starter packs' for new residents at Your Place, with essentials including bedding and towels, ready for them when they arrive. This will make a huge difference to making people feel welcome after losing their home.
In case you missed it: this Stress Awareness Month, we're really grateful to Kabir* for sharing his story of hope and determination after the deep stress and anxiety of losing his mother and his home.

This #EarthDay we're excited to share our Grow Wild project, which is allowing residents with an interest in gardening the chance to learn more about native plants and embracing nature here in Newham. Watch this space as our research continues🧡
Great to be speaking today at the @HDN_UK Board Diversity conference about the journey @YourPlaceUK have taken to build a more diverse board. Some interesting questions and discussions and great personal experience shared by our trustee Kevin Maxwell.
Our resident Kelvin* generously shared his story with @HomelessLink and @guardian about his Section 21 eviction from a rogue landlord. He is now receiving support and accommodation with us after being made homeless very abruptly last year. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Kabir* was sofa-surfing and sleeping rough for two years after the loss of his mother. Having built up his confidence at Your Place, he is now in his own flat and has ambitions of becoming a solicitor. Read the story he has kindly shared with us: bit.ly/4ayI8EE
Great to be with homelessness sector and local authority leaders today to hear Sadiq Khan pledge to end rough sleeping for good by 2030 if re-elected. Allowing homelessness is a political choice. Let’s hope we see a commitment from all parties on this.
Alongside 36 other organisations, we have written to the Home Secretary @JamesCleverly urging him to reconsider proposals to criminalise people forced to sleep rough #CriminalJusticeBill. Losing your home should not be a criminal offence. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
During this time of gratitude, forgiveness, and spending quality time with loved ones, our teams and residents at Your Place would like to wish an Eid Mubarak to all celebrating🧡
Electric atmosphere and energy this morning at the #LLHM in central London. Keep your eyes peeled for our fantastic runners, supporting our work solving homelessness one person at a time! 🧡
First landmark for the #LLHM runners is Trafalgar Square which is not only home to Nelson but also our colleagues at @homelesslondon which is by St Martin's. The London borough of Westminster has over 2,000 people sleeping rough, the highest figure in the capital. #LLHM24
"Growing my skills and confidence makes me feel like I’m closer to achieving my dream." We're so pleased to share an update on Halima's story, as she graduates from the barista training programme at @ChangePlease and goes into full-time work: bit.ly/3TY756v
It should not be govt policy to arrest people simply because they do not have a roof over their head. We would urge the Prime Minister @RishiSunak and the Home Secretary @JamesCleverly to listen to their colleagues calls and drop these punitive measures. bit.ly/3TIX8Zc
From all staff and residents at Your Place, we wish a Happy Easter to all celebrating this Holy Week.🧡
This afternoon, we were thrilled to be joined by some supporters for a tour led by Chief Executive @AmandaDubarry. We are always excited to meet people who share our mission of solving homelessness one person at a time. You can support our work at: bit.ly/3Wq8UI7

🚨 There are 261,000 long-term empty homes in England. Meanwhile, we desperately need more social homes. While nowhere near enough by itself to end the housing emergency, converting empty homes into social homes would help kickstart the delivery of homes we desperately need. 🧵
Our analysis found households have approached councils for homeless support over 80k times since the Gov first promised to scrap S21s. It must now stand up to its back benchers and fulfil its manifesto commitment to end no fault evictions for good. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Great to be speaking today at the @HDN_UK Board Diversity conference about the journey @YourPlaceUK have taken to build a more diverse board. Some interesting questions and discussions and great personal experience shared by our trustee Kevin Maxwell.
The new #RentersReformBill must put an end to unfair treatment of renters and the use of section 21. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
This is shocking. Households in England have been threatened more than 80,000 times with homelessness due to no-fault evictions since the Conservative government first announced it would outlaw the practice theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
One private renter who lost his home under a section 21 notice was Kelvin (not his real name), now supported by the Your Place charity in east London. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
While he counts himself lucky to have temporary accommodation and stability, Kelvin said: “I’ve lost trust in private landlords and things need to change so that this doesn’t keep happening to people.” theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
He was living in a house share in the capital for three years before his landlord wrote to say they were being evicted. On the day of the eviction he was not given time to move out all his belongings before the locks were changed. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
@YourPlaceUK Hope these treats were thoroughly enjoyed yesterday.🙏🏿
CIH are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Steve Benson, our former CIH president and honorary life Fellow of CIH. We send our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends at this difficult time. cih.org/news/tribute-t…
Great to be with homelessness sector and local authority leaders today to hear Sadiq Khan pledge to end rough sleeping for good by 2030 if re-elected. Allowing homelessness is a political choice. Let’s hope we see a commitment from all parties on this.
Alongside 36 other organisations, we have written to the Home Secretary @JamesCleverly urging him to reconsider proposals to fine and imprison people forced to sleep on our streets #CriminalJusticeBill bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Thank you to everyone in the @LBGplc Muslim Network who donated items for packs for members observing Ramadan. Some also volunteered at @Crisis_Bham to assemble 40 packs supporting 60 adults & 37 children. 🌙 Eid Mubarak to all our supporters & members celebrating from tomorrow.
As part of @EndChildPoverty we handed in a giant unhappy birthday card to @DWPgovuk to mark 7 yrs of the two-child limit to benefit payments.
🗓️ From today, most benefit rates rise by 6.7% due to the normal annual ‘uprating’ rules to match inflation. 📉 But even after this, #UniversalCredit’s basic rate will still fall far short of what’s needed to afford essentials like food, household bills and vital travel.🧵1/5
