Crisis campaign wins December 2009

Crisis Campaigns   Wow! Three Crisis campaigns wins in 14 days – thanks to you       Dear Crisis e-campaigner When Crisis e-campaigners get on the case, it's amazing what happens. In the last fortnight, we've had three big campaign wins which will make a real difference to homeless people. Loads of you took e-action to back our Poor choice campaign to stop proposed cuts hitting the poorest tenants. And last week the Government said it will withdraw the plan. Many of you supported our Housing benefits, not barriers campaign since it began last year, to make sure work always pays. This week the Government said it would look at reforms on housing benefits, including measures recommended by Crisis. Crisis e-campaigners like you contacted their MPs about A Private Matter? our campaign to make sure all tenants get decent notice rather than sudden eviction when their landlord's property is repossessed. MP Brian Iddon now says he'll use a special parliamentary procedure to make this protection law. Government and opposition parties have pledged to back it. A brilliant end to 2009! We look forward to achieving even more with you in the new year. Jenny Westaway Campaigns Manager PS – What are you doing for Crisis Christmas next week?
