Throwing money at landlords doesn’t address the causes of homelessness, says housing campaigner Nye Jones

Early last year, I was working for the homelessness department of a London council when a woman approached me for assistance. The excited chatter of her two young children was at odds with the confusion and worry etched across her face. She told me how her landlord had issued her an eviction notice but, bewilderingly, he didn’t actually want to evict her. Instead he’d told her to, “go to the council, get them to pay me the incentive and you can stay”.
