Seven days to crucial debate: get your MP there

    Seven days to crucial debate on sudden evictions
  
 

Dear Crisis e-campaigner

Next Friday MPs will debate a vital new law to protect private tenants from sudden eviction through no fault of their own. Please ask your MP to support this essential reform.

At the moment, if you've paid the rent but your landlord has failed to pay the mortgage you can find yourself chucked out onto the streets with no rights when the property is repossessed.

The new law would be the culmination of the Crisis A private matter? campaign and is simple, but should be effective. If it's passed, around 324,000 private tenants at risk would gain the right to be given notice to find somewhere else to live.

With your help, we've got this far with the campaign. Now it's over to MPs – please ask yours to stand up and be counted at the debate on Friday 29 January and to add their name to the motion in support.

And it's vital that as many MPs as possible attend on Friday - so please forward this email to friends and ask them to take action too.

Asylum seekers need support

Crisis is worried about Government plans to cut support for asylum seekers. Asylum seekers are already at risk of homelessness and poverty, especially if their claim is rejected. So as a member of campaign coalition Still Human Still Here Crisis would urge e-campaigners to take action to protest about further cuts to what is already a low level of support.

Many thanks for your support

Loving the snow? Try sleeping in it!

CrisisHomelessness ends here
Loving the snow?  Try sleeping in it.

Can you keep homeless people off the streets this winter?

Hello

Although the biggest blizzard for decades has caused widespread travel chaos, many people are taking the chance to enjoy the freak weather; staying off work, building snowmen, sledging and lobbing the odd snowball. But for homeless people, this weather is no joke - for those sleeping outside it is life-threatening.

Now that our Christmas centres have closed-down, we are helping homeless people get training, education, work and access to proper housing - to keep them off the streets for good.

To run these services we rely on donations from people like you.

Please donate as much as you can afford. Thank you.
