Strong turnout from South West MPs at today’s parliamentary reception hosted by Homes for the #SouthWest. Our members are working hard to deliver the homes our region desperately needs – but we can do more with the right support and investment from government 👇

Great to see so many MPs showing their support for more #affordablehousing in the South West! With demand for affordable housing at an all-time high, we need action from the government to support housing associations to deliver the homes our region needs. #UKHousing #SouthWest

“Our region is one of the least affordable for housing. House prices have risen 400% in 25 years, while wages have only increased by 83%. We need more #affordablehomes for individuals, families, and key workers.” louise, Chair of Homes for the #SouthWest #UKHousing

“Every £1 spent on construction generates £2.84 in economic activity and a 56p benefit to the Treasury, supporting jobs & growth. Every 50,000 new homes built adds 0.5% to our GDP. It's clear that addressing the housing crisis is crucial to achieving economic growth.” Damien Egan

"I'm delighted to hear your commitment to delivering more homes, and your pipeline of new homes for the next five years will go a very long way to support local people. There's more we can do to help unlock additional delivery." Baroness Dr Sharon Taylor of Stevenage, OBE

"Both myself and the deputy prime minister grew up in social housing, so we recognise the power of a safe, secure, sustainable, & affordable home to help people achieve their potential and aspirations [...] Working together we can deliver the homes that we need." Baroness Dr Sharon Taylor of Stevenage, OBE
