New Economics Foundation Talk about Homelessness, Renters and the COVID-19 Crisis
Sunday 26 April, 2020 Written by Simon CollyerHOUSING - New Economics Foundation senior researcher Hanna Wheatley, Islington councillor Diarmaid Ward, and Acorn national organiser Anny Cullum talk about homelessness and renters.

But are these measures enough? What has been the experience of tenants and the homeless community so far during the crisis? And what changes should we be pushing for now.
The New Economics Foundation talk about the effect of COVID-19 crisis.
