Threshold Reveals Homelessness Crisis
Description
Housing charity Threshold reveals sobering stats: last year they helped 19,000 households, with 3,700 avoiding homelessness—mostly due to eviction threats. They’re pushing for stronger tenant rights, including six-year tenancies launching in March 2026 and expanded rent pressure zones. With rising rents and deposit hurdles forcing people out of homes over life’s misfortunes, Threshold is demanding better Housing Assistance Payment rates and 20% of national housing stock to be social or cost-rental. Through research, lobbying, and a student rental scam campaign, they’re turning frontline data into policy wins to secure roofs for all.
