Climate crisis posing growing risk to the homeless, UK charities tell ministers

Letter calls for urgent action this winter to help those with no, or inadequate, housing

Homeless people and those in poor housing are at increasing risk from the climate crisis, while suffering the consequences of our dependence on costly fossil fuels, housing charities have warned.

The leaders of three of the UK's biggest housing charities have written to ministers to call for urgent action for this winter for people facing homelessness, and to improve inadequate housing.
