Connexus call on Prospective Parliamentary Candidates to help #FixTheHousingCrisis

The distinctive Grain Loft extension was designed by award-winning architects K4 and features an eye-catching anodized copper exterior. The Grain Loft will house 22 residents (aged between 18 and 55) with low-level support needs and includes a large purpose-built ground floor flat to accommodate a family or an individual with mobility or accessibility requirements.

The visit came as the National Housing Federation (NHF) launched a nation-wide week of action calling for the new government to fix the housing crisis for good. As part of this, housing associations across the country are shining a spotlight on their impactful work, using the hashtag #FixTheHousingCrisis on social media.

The sector is calling for the next government to invest £12.8bn in new social housing every year for a decade. This would unlock tens of thousands of new social homes across the country, as well as supporting the economy and lowering the benefits bill.
