"We need a concerted national collaboration to building more homes that recognises the potential role and contribution of all sectors, including private." - John Griffiths MS

Our response to new Welsh Parliament committee report on Welsh social housing supply “The inquiry process, and this report, have been an important moment for us to emphasise the importance of social homes in addressing the housing crisis... 🧵 (1/4)

"Now, we must take some crucial steps forward from this to supercharge affordable housing delivery by tackling the issues that are slowing down development.

“Housing associations want to continue delivering the quality homes Wales needs at pace. So we now need a long-term, joined-up strategic approach for housing - and a funding environment that reflects these strategic priorities.

“We are facing a big challenge here, which can’t be dealt with by one simple change. That’s why housing associations are poised to share their expertise, and play an important role in pulling Wales out of the crisis.” - Hayley CHC
