We welcome this report and are pleased to see recommendations around the need for longer-term and more flexible funding arrangements from government to support delivery echoing our calls for a #PlanForHousing .
England is in a housing emergency.
Millions of people are being let down by a failing system, but it doesn't have to be this way.
We want to work with the next govt to end the #HousingCrisis & are calling on all parties to work with us & commit to a long-term #PlanForHousing ๐
'In each of the last 10 years, fewer than 10,000 social rent homes have been constructed.'
Our research shows 90,000 #SocialHomes must be built each year to meet demand, building theses homes would add over ยฃ50bn to the economy.
It's a no brainer. We need a #PlanForHousing ๐
Important piece in Financial Times by Joshua Oliver
Competing financial pressures & decades of funding cuts are making it impossible to build new #AffordableHousing
A properly funded #PlanForHousing would enable housing associations to build the affordable homes the country needs.
'Housing is expected to be central to a Labour manifesto. Policies will seek to woo first-time buyers & those on lower incomes wanting social homes.'
Positive to see The Labour Party's intention to prioritise housing.
We hope all parties will commit to a #PlanForHousing ahead of #GE24
