What a 24-year old has to say about homelessness and housing

“My film Half Way documents my family’s experiences when we were made homeless. I hope it goes some way towards changing the way we look at housing …

… Ultimately, we need many thousands of homes – affordable and council. We need to make the rental market affordable again, and we need to change policy so that it stops benefiting those that have multiple houses and punishing those that have nowhere to call their home. If the government can afford to renovate Buckingham Palace, do up the Houses of Parliament or support the Garden Bridge project in London, all to make Britain look like one of the greatest places in the world, don’t we have a duty to make sure everyone in the country has a decent home? Wouldn’t that be something to be truly proud of?”
