Generation Rent Withdraws Support from Homes for Britain
Yesterday, lobby group Generation Rent revealed that they are no longer supporting the Homes for Britain campaign.
Director of the organisation, Alex Hilton, says that the “title’s great” but that Homes for Britain “is so flawed” that it has “undermined the interests of people suffering the consequences of the housing crisis.”
The group have released an open letter calling for participants to “work with us” on a “more effective, loose campaigning network”.
The letter explains Homes for Britain’s plans to end the “housing crisis within a generation”, although Hilton believes “more timely”1 solutions are needed. Hilton asks organisations to email info@generationrent.org if they wish to help.
The letter goes on to say that Homes for Britain’s requirement for political parties to publish “proposals within a year of taking office” is a “get out of jail free card for politicians.”1
