Housing is a human right.

Having a permanent, warm, spacious and safe home is crucial to our physical and mental health, and plays a key role in the development of young children by providing a solid foundation fo on which to grow.

Fairer Housing began in 2021 when families in desperate need of a decent, affordable home started to meet with local grassroots community groups in West London. We explored the reasons for the housing crisis and the big changes needed to make decent , safe and affordable homes available for everyone.

We bring together the voices of families and individuals most impacted by these poor housing conditions, and community groups who support them. We centre their experiences in calling for systemic changes, bringing strength to our demands of the UK Government and other stakeholders to provide decent, safe and accessible homes.

Together, we have identified nine broad areas for progressive change.  We need changes in local, regional and above all, national policies as well as changes in the law. For this to happen, we need your help. Making sure that everyone has a decent, affordable home is a collective effort.

If you fall into any of the following categories:

• Families stuck in unsatisfactory temporary/council housing or housing association homes;

• Private renters who are locked out of social housing yet cannot afford to own their homes;

• Parents whose adult children cannot afford to move out of the family home;

• Community/service groups, organisations and campaigners who share our goals for housing/social justice and equality;

• Campaigners and organisations for energy efficient homes to combat climate change;

• Politicians whose constituencies have dealt with persistent housing issues;

• And all those who believe that the housing crisis must be ended.

Your voice is vital to make possible this vision for a system that allows all of us to have access to a decent, secure home. Together, we can make sure that this becomes a reality.
