Social Housing Bill [HL]Contribution
I am particularly concerned about the impact on vulnerable groups. Measures that tighten eligibility or add further barriers inevitably fall hardest on people already facing disadvantage: those fleeing domestic abuse, people in insecure work, care leavers, refugees with recognised status, and others whose lives are already marked by instability. Restricting access does not remove need; it simply makes that need more precarious.
