We are a resident-led coalition shining a forensic light on council failures, contract scandals, and the human cost of a broken housing system. Every case filed. Every vote counted. Every decision scrutinised.
A direct award contract worth £18.86M for temporary accommodation — issued on 31 December 2025 with no public tender process. Coalition has filed FOI requests.
51,107 sq ft at BN1 1JE. Council proposing commercial development on a 250-year peppercorn lease. Coalition demands this be used for permanent homes.
Government prevention funding diverted away from frontline prevention. Coalition demands a full independent audit and public inquiry.
The 10 most recent housing coalition updates, shown below in a clean two-column grid.
Founded in 2016, the Brighton & Hove Housing Coalition is a resident-led advocacy organisation. We bring together people with lived experience of homelessness, housing insecurity, and the failures of the system — alongside organisations, legal experts, and community allies.
We are not affiliated with any political party. We follow the evidence, not the agenda. Our work is forensic, transparent, and always on the side of those without power.
From Freedom of Information requests and council deputations to petition campaigns and grassroots organising — we use every legal tool available. Our Justice Engine makes the evidence visible and usable.
We help residents understand the process, track progress, and challenge decisions that affect housing, safety, and dignity.
