High housing costs, including rent and mortgages, are making it hard for many people and families to secure stable, safe, affordable homes.","additional_details":"We call for policies that incentivise the development of diverse housing options at prices accessible to those with moderate and low incomes. We see this as including exploring initiatives like Rent Control, Inclusionary Zoning in new developments and increased funding for Social Housing programs.\r\n \r\nWe believe that access to affordable housing is a fundamental human right, crucial for the wellbeing of our community and that it is time for action to ensure that everyone has a place to call home.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":26,"closing_date":"2026-09-16","created_at":"2026-02-06T00:02:00.921Z","updated_at":"2026-04-08T17:46:10.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-03-16T16:08:07.723Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-02-06T12:49:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Angela Templeton","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"MHCLG","name":"Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-housing-communities-local-government"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":26}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Cheltenham","ons_code":"E14001161","mp":"Max Wilkinson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Croydon West","ons_code":"E14001188","mp":"Sarah Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Derby South","ons_code":"E14001194","mp":"Baggy Shanker MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard","ons_code":"E14001206","mp":"Alex Mayer MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hartlepool","ons_code":"E14001272","mp":"Mr Jonathan Brash MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Heywood and Middleton North","ons_code":"E14001286","mp":"Mrs Elsie Blundell MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hyndburn","ons_code":"E14001299","mp":"Sarah Smith MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Islington North","ons_code":"E14001305","mp":"Rt Hon Jeremy Corbyn MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Newton Abbot","ons_code":"E14001381","mp":"Martin Wrigley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Newton Aycliffe and Spennymoor","ons_code":"E14001382","mp":"Alan Strickland MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Plymouth Moor View","ons_code":"E14001426","mp":"Fred Thomas MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Rochester and Strood","ons_code":"E14001447","mp":"Lauren Edwards MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Salford","ons_code":"E14001459","mp":"Rebecca Long Bailey MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Scunthorpe","ons_code":"E14001462","mp":"Sir Nicholas Dakin MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Staffordshire Moorlands","ons_code":"E14001514","mp":"Rt Hon Dame Karen Bradley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Stretford and Urmston","ons_code":"E14001528","mp":"Andrew Western MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Taunton and Wellington","ons_code":"E14001540","mp":"Gideon Amos MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Tiverton and Minehead","ons_code":"E14001548","mp":"Rachel Gilmour MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Torbay","ons_code":"E14001551","mp":"Steve Darling MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Widnes and Halewood","ons_code":"E14001584","mp":"Derek Twigg MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Witham","ons_code":"E14001590","mp":"Rt Hon Priti Patel MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Glasgow East","ons_code":"S14000084","mp":"John Grady MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Aberafan Maesteg","ons_code":"W07000081","mp":"Stephen Kinnock MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North East","ons_code":"A","signature_count":3},{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":5},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":1},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":2},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":2},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":2},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":7},{"name":"Wales","ons_code":"L","signature_count":1},{"name":"Scotland","ons_code":"M","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
