Perhaps housebuilders would find more RPs to buy the affordable homes if the prices were lower?

[Home Builders Federation @HomeBuildersFed]

The shortage of Registered Providers in the market is becoming a growing concern, leaving Affordable Homes standing empty and stalling progress.

Unless action is taken, the gap between housing supply and the government’s ambitious targets will only continue to widen.

We’re proud to be recognised as one of @insidehousing’s Top 50 Biggest Builders—ranked number 47 with 364 homes completed in 2024/25! We are also 7th in the list of fastest growing housing associations and have been in the top 10 for the last seven years 🏘️

[Resolution Foundation @resfoundation]

The number of affordable homes relative to population in the UK has fallen by over a third since 1980.

Moreover, under-investment in social housing has meant many low-income households instead live in the private rental sector.

Under-investment in social housing has meant many low-income households instead live in the private rental sector.

The result is less secure and lower-quality accommodation for tenants and higher costs for the state, which paid nearly £12 billion in housing support to private landlords in 2023-24.

[Crisis @crisis_uk]

🧵On Tuesday, we came together at Crisis’ Homelessness Summit to push for real solutions to end homelessness in the UK.

With a new government strategy on the horizon, the time for action is now. Here’s what happened. ⬇️

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

New @MHCLG stats show child #Homelessness & #RoughSleeping continue to soar:

164k kids in temp accommodation (up 16%)
4,667 people rough sleeping (up 20%)

This is no way to live or for a child to grow up - a result of years of cuts & policy failure

We need a #PlanForHousing
