We were supporting our member Jacqueline this morning for her legal challenge against Southwark council.
Her unaffordable rent is leaving her with debts but the council refuse to recognise that she is homeless😠
We are still waiting on the judgement but we will keep you updated.

🥳Eviction stopped! A HASL family were facing a no-fault eviction from their private rented home. With the help of @southwarklawcentre.bsky.social @jogilvieharris.bsky.social the judge threw out the landlord's case and our members have won more time in their home! Hurray for landlord licensing!

🗣️Lambeth council - where are the homes?
Last year, there was a drastic reduction in 3 and 4 bed social homes on Lambeth's bidding system with no explanation - the explanation the council has finally offered is really absurd! Lambeth residents deserve honesty!
