Housing injustice has emerged as one of the greatest challenges facing migrant and Eastern European communities in the UK. We support the coalition to drive guidance and a blueprint for government action on safe, secure and affordable homes for all.
38 Degrees is a community of more than a million people who - in a moment away from their busy days - take small actions on issues they care about, which all add up to something bigger.
Every time we win together we move our country a step towards the fairer, more sustainable place we’re fighting for, where we are treated - and treat each other - with respect.
For renters in England the housing system is neither fair nor respectful, so we are proud to support the Renters Reform Coalition to ensure the Government lives up to its promise to renters.
Our research shows that decades of financialisation and government mismanagement has created a two-tier housing system in England and Wales. On the one hand: an expensive system of homeownership; and on the other a precarious, unaffordable and dangerous rental sector. This is underpinned by government policies that encourage investment in our homes without protections for tenants, political fearmongering that homeownership is the only desirable form of tenure, and a lack of regulations to require basic standards of living in rented homes. We support the Renters' Reform Coalition because we need to bring our housing system back into balance, and ensure that everyone can be safe, secure and warm, no matter what tenure they choose to live in.
"Loughborough Students' Union supports the Renters Reform Coalition for one key reason, students are not second-class renters. All our students deserve a safe and warm place to live whilst they carry out their studies. As we saw during COVID this often forgotten and overlooked group, are particularly vulnerable when it comes to renting privately. Students can pay upwards £160 a week for the privilege to live in mould-ridden accommodation, and we wonder why the mental health of our students and young people is suffering. Only 1 in 2 students are confident that they have enough money to cover their basic living costs with 1 in 4 students regularly going without food due to rising costs. At LSU we believe that student private renters deserve more. That’s why we are joining these calls and showing our support for the Renters Reform Coalition and the Renters Reform Bill."
