Figure saying Government should focus on social housing would be well over 48% in Hackney.
We don’t need more developer led, for profit developments.
Over 3000 families in temporary housing & 4 more primary schools closing because only the rich can live here now.

Just great to see @PhinHarper challenge the Yimby narrative. Let's now go back to the 2020 Affordable Housing Commission recommendations - we need a 20 year Housing Strategy tackling issues in the social and private rented sectors, empty homes and much more. #BuildSocial

“If the YIMBY hunch that house values fall when the supply of new homes outstrips population growth were true, overall prices should’ve come down since 1970. Britain has experienced the exact opposite; five decades of astronomical property-price inflation” theguardian.com/commentisfre…

"local authorities are ..held responsible for meeting ..targets despite, for the most part, not building homes themselves
The result ..targets are based on made-up numbers that the construction industry has neither the will nor the capacity to meet."

Housing targets: Set up to Fail?
Councils allocate sites & deliver planning consent.
They don't build.
Forcing allocation of more sites just means more choice for developers.
No increase in building. Green fields lost. Brownfield idle.
From 2015....

We and @justspace7 are calling for
1. A new Housing Bill
2. An end to Right to Buy
3. Funding #BuildSocial
4. A new Empty Homes Programme
5. Legal support for renters
... and above all, this country needs a HOUSING STRATEGY, not simply a call to 'build more homes'

🚨 BREAKING: Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirms that the new government won't build any council homes.
Reeves told a press conference: "We need the private sector to build homes. We're not going to be in the business of building those homes directly".

The new govt will face levels of public sector debt not seen since the 1960s. It will also face an enormous shortage of affordable housing. Could it be funded through extra borrowing?
@CIHhousing's John Perry shares his thoughts 👇

Why not fund affordable housing through extra borrowing? The last time it happened, the markets ignored it dlvr.it/T95T2l #ukhousing

🗣️#7 of our 10-point plan call to action is to improve security & standards in the private rented sector.
The next govt must deliver on Renters Reform Bill to address affordability pressures and improve security & standards for renters.

That's why we've joined @Shelter & 41 other orgs to demand #SocialHousingNotScapegoating.

Election campaign feedback - "Housing is by far one of the biggest issues [people] are raising".
So many challenges to address. But it can be done. We need a long-term plan & political will.

Coming up across @BBCNews TV, radio & digital.
politicians don’t set the agenda.
We don’t.
You do. Your Voice Your Vote.
Overwhelming issue no 1, chosen by you: Housing.
Targets, subsidies, record rents, Greenbelt-grey belt. most enduring aspect of the cost of living crisis.

With the @LibDems manifesto the first to be published, it's good to see a commitment to a social housing programme & x govt plan to end homelessness, both of which we'd been calling for.
