Generation Rent Withdraws From Homes for Britain Campaign amid RTB Fallout

Generation Rent has withdrawn from the sector-wide Homes for Britain campaign, saying “the title's great but in reality we believe the strategy is so flawed that it has to date undermined the interests of people suffering the consequences of the housing crisis”. Generation Rent director Alex Hilton had made clear his unhappiness with the campaign but the group's withdrawal will still come as a major surprise to many supporters of the campaign whose “asks were not just weak, but allowed politicians too much political space,” according to Hilton. He later tweeted that “Homes for Britain seems to be undermining pro-housing campaigns. Please help us fix that.”  Read more on the Generation Rent website.
