New NAO report finds the cost of a place in a children's care home has nearly doubled in 5 years.

The biggest private providers make average annual profits of 22.6%, many backed by private equity.

And many children aren't getting what they need, placed far from home, in unlawful settings

These are the top replies, being financially rewarded for posting this stuff, and the explanation offered by the site’s own AI for why it’s like that.

Anyway just flicking through the Sunday newspapers reading about some minor content infractions that Ofcom might look into at the BBC/Channel 4.

Cool

Like reading blogs? I've written one here about how #innovation in #housing can help solve #homelessness. I'd love to hear your feedback.

Rising needs and complexity; rising hope in the sector that we can work together to reduce #homelessness. It was good to chair the #Homelessness Prevention Forum this morning with passionate colleagues talking about women's rough sleeping, sport, and partnership work with Leeds City Council.

Packed room for the Third Sector Partnership meeting with Leeds City Council.

Surprising for an in-person on a Monday morning?

Not really when you know how passionate VCSE partners are and how willing LCC colleagues are to work together to serve the residents of #Leeds.

Hearing from Ed Whiting at the Third Sector Health and Care Leaders network meeting.

It's a tough picture this year but he has optimism for Leeds City Council over the next 5-10 years.

He's praising third sector partners; we are all keen to work together to serve the residents of #Leeds

Good panel discussion at this #Leeds Marmot city event. Dean Matheson talking about the need for long-term commitment across the city if we are going to tackle structural racism

One year into the Labour government, this is a useful tool to cut through the noise of the partisan press and track what they have achieved, are on track with, or are not on track with: fullfact.org/government-t...

Yesterday @worldhabitat.bsky.social hosted an inspiring conference on homelessness and affordability. It was great to catch up with so many Oak partners who were speaking or attending. Congratulations to World Habitat on 40 years of the World Habitat Awards!

Some thoughts on Reeves' big affordable housing announcements. Tl;dr - yes it is good news (and a pleasent surprise), but let's not get carried away:

Today, we’ve announced £39bn of investment in a new 10-year affordable homes programme alongside a 10-year rent settlement.

Boosting investment and providing certainty to deliver on our promise of the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation.

@kwajo.bsky.social is rousing the room with his story of lived experience of #homelessness, and challenging us to ask the hard questions at the @worldhabitat.bsky.social conference today.

FT and other sources are saying £39bn. Where have you heard £25bn? #ukhousing

📢Good news: The 200-year-old Vagrancy Act is finally to be repealed, meaning rough sleeping will no longer be treated as a crime in England & Wales.
CIH have long called for an approach that tackles the root causes of homelessness—not punishes people for it. This is a welcome & long overdue change🧵⬇️
