Nurses will go on strike again on 18 and 19 January, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has announced.

New data released by the government shows a significant spike in the number of those presenting to their local council as homeless since the opening of visa routes for Ukrainian refugees.

Leading refugee and civil society groups have written to the Prime Minister to call for extra support for Ukrainian refugees amid concerns that the rising cost of living could make it challenging to settle in the UK.

Exclusive: Government is not currently going ahead with a proposal to double payments to UK households hosting Ukrainian refugees to £700, despite hopes that it would encourage people to prolong participation in the Homes for Ukraine scheme.

Ministers are unable to say who is in charge of supporting Ukrainian refugees in the UK following the resignation of Lord Harrington, who oversaw the government's flagship Homes for Ukraine scheme, over a month ago.

Exclusive: The government is considering doubling the £350 monthly payments to UK refugee hosts to encourage them to keep Ukrainian guests in their homes for longer.

Exclusive: Local leaders have issued an urgent call to government to provide further support for Ukrainian refugees living in the UK as early arrivals near the end of the six month period in which their hosts were required to support them under the government's Homes for Ukraine scheme.

It is tragic to see the ongoing situation in Ukraine as the war continues to rage on.

The President of the World Veterans Federation, Mr Dan Viggo Bergtun, paid a short visit to Veterans Aid’s London HQ and Operations Centre on May 24th, to meet staff and learn about the charity’s work.

As the frontline charity Veterans Aid publishes its latest Impact Report, CEO Dr Hugh Milroy reflects on how provision of support for veterans changed over lockdown and calls for a new approach to dealing with the age-old problem of homelessness in post-pandemic Britain.

If the government can’t count how many people are on the streets with any degree of confidence, how can ministers be sure of meeting the target of ending rough sleeping in England by the end of the parliament? Analysis by Harry Banton of Dods Political Intelligence

"No-one should be criminalised simply for having nowhere to live", the Prime Minister told the House of Commons in October.

The scale of homelessness and housing difficulties among EU citizens across Britain has become a growing concern.

The harsh impacts of Storm Arwen and the emergence of the Omicron variant foretell a potentially treacherous and bleak Winter for all of us, but especially for homeless people. New research showing that EU citizens are almost three times as likely to experience rough sleeping is therefore of deep concern.

What does ‘levelling up’ and ‘building back better’ mean to those Veterans living on the fringes of society? Dr Hugh Milroy, CEO of frontline homeless charity Veterans Aid, offers some cautionary thoughts.

A human rights approach to housing would play a central role in guaranteeing that core issues such as homelessness and affordability are back on the front pages.

Investing in people today by helping them find meaningful, paid employment and securing the roof over their heads will also give them the space, stability, and agency to think long-term.

A recent research paper into the  discharge process for men and women dismissed from the Armed Forces for drug use found it ‘inconsistent and damaging’. Pledges to explore and redress this are welcome, but in the interim frontline charities like Veterans Aid are dealing with its devastating impact on individuals and families. Dr Hugh Milroy, CEO of the charity, explains why a review of the policy is needed.

A new report from Barnardo's and IKEA shines a stark spotlight on the experiences of young people living independently when leaving the care system

The enormous amount of prospective homeless people and families dwarfs any other emergency that homeless advocates like me have ever seen before. Government must reinstate the eviction ban.

The Vagrancy Act is simply not fit for purpose. New legislation must recognise there needs to be a combined health and housing approach to tackle rough sleeping.

Renters are at the sharp end of this crisis, with many spending lockdown in cramped accommodation and in insecure work. We must protect them from eviction loopholes and potentially falling into homelessness.
