Imagination and sacrifice: why our housing vision needs both

The Bishop for Housing, The Rt Revd Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani reflects on the Church of England’s call to address the housing crisis through creativity and collective responsibility in her article for the National Housing Federation Website: Imagination and Sacrifice: Why Our Housing Vision Needs Both.

She highlights the urgent need for action, emphasising that solving the housing crisis requires not only bold, innovative solutions but also a willingness to prioritise the needs of others over personal interests. Bishop Guli underscores how the Church can lead by example, fostering a vision where everyone has access to stable, affordable homes.

By reimagining how land and resources are used and embracing sacrificial choices, the Church can help tackle deep-rooted issues that perpetuate housing inequality. Bishop Guli calls for individuals and communities to think differently about their roles in creating housing justice.
