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

It’s a big number, but it’s crucial to tackle the housing affordability crisis." Let's continue to support and advocate for more affordable housing solutions to ensure that everyone has a place to call home. #EndHomelessness #AffordableHousing #YWCAColumbus #SupportLocal https://bit.ly/4bqcf0H
