Another victory for LCAP

On Tuesday 9th of December, members of L&S joined the London Coalition Against Poverty in successfully defending a single mother’s right to housing.

About a dozen people accompanied her to file an application, and at a subsequent meeting with housing officers her application was accepted. This typical example of LCAP’s direct action casework means that one more family won’t be made homeless during the freezing winter months. LCAP is working on issues such as Jobcentre mismanagement, council “gatekeeping” of housing resources from homeless persons, supporting mistreated workers and organising with people living in temporary accommodation.
