Let X be a higher rank symmetric space or a Bruhat-Tits building of dimension at least 2 such that the isometry group of X has property (T). We prove that for every torsion free lattice Γ⊂ \rm Isom X any homology class in H1(Γ\backslash X,\mathbb F2) has a representative cycle of total length oX(\rm Vol(Γ\backslash X)). As an application we show that dim\mathbb F2 H1(Γ\backslash X,\mathbb F2)=oX(\rm Vol(Γ\backslash X)).
