Shelter exists to defend the right to a safe home
A home is a fundamental human need and a basic moral right, as vital as education or healthcare.
But in Britain today, that right is being denied to millions of people whose lives are blighted by homelessness, bad conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction.
Shelter's strategy sets out to be a turning point, an ambitious and fearless response to what has become a national emergency. Everything they do from now on will be to defend the right to a safe home.
Their goals
1. Rights for renters and an end to discrimination:
by 2022 - renters have greater security and do not face discrimination
by 2029 - people have housing rights and understand them
2. Building more social housing:
by 2022 - all political parties promise to build enough social housing
by 2029 - all those in greatest need have access to social housing
3. Supporting people who are struggling:
by 2022 - people who struggle to manage their housing have support
by 2029 - people get support to assert their rights and are not stigmatised or marginalised
