Counihan-Sanchez Housing Campaign (CSHC) Emergency appeal: Stop the eviction of the Counihan family.

We need your support. The Counihan-Sanchez family from Kilburn were made homeless by Brent Council after they declared 18 a week income. Since April 2012, the family have publicly campaigned against cuts and evictions in Brent. Now Brent Housing have issued a final eviction notice to throw the family out of their temporary accommodation on May 27th. Join the protests against the eviction.

Protest at Brent Council Annual Meeting, Brent Town Hall, Forty Lane Wembley, HA9 9HD 6.30pm Eviction set for Monday May 27th at 15 Rose Gardens, Ealing W5 4JU. Call to confirm - if we have enough people we can prevent the eviction.

Counihan-Sanchez Housing Campaign (CSHC) Smash the bedroom tax! Cap rents not benefits!
It is estimated that 2,500 households in Brent will be affected by the hated bedroom tax and the benefit cap. Nationwide the bedroom tax will affect 600,000 households who face an average loss of 728 per year. The bedroom tax is targeted at poorer workers and those on benefits. It is not about saving money - nothing is being done about massive Housing Benefit payments to private landlords. People receiving benefits in Brent will lose an average of 680 per year. We need a mass campaign against the bedroom tax led by working class communities similar to the movement which defeated the Poll Tax in 1990. We need open democratic campaigns led by those affected by the cuts. According to Brent Council, 1100 families in our borough will lose an average of 100 a week as a result of the total benefit cap from July. Many of these households will be made homeless or sent out of the borough. CSHC opposes all cuts. No deals or concessions to Tory, Liberal or Labour party cutters who say they will retain the bedroom tax.
