[Homes for the South West @Homes4SW]

The #SouthWest is being pushed to breaking point
● Median house prices ⬆️ 400% in 25yrs, with earnings only ⬆️ 83%
● 27% of England’s 2nd homes pricing out locals
● Shortage of 200k homes relative to need
New #affordablehomes are vital for our region 👉 https://t.co/WH7YhMdriI

🚨New social housing sales/demolition figs today🚨

27,616 social homes sold/demolished in 2022/23. Of that, 10,896 were Right to Buy sales, again outstripping supply of social rent homes (9,561). Every year since 2013/14, more social homes have been sold under RTB than built (1)

With 1 in 6 children living in overcrowded homes & record levels of child #Homelessness it's positive yet not surprising that #UKHousing is now the 4th top issue facing the country. @YouGov

We need all parties to commit to a long-term housing plan that prioritises #SocialHousing

Good to catch up with @victor_dacunha and @swain_alliance today about getting new affordable homes built in Bristol.

@Curo_Group is building 165 new homes in Lawrence Weston in Bristol NW.

An incoming @UKLabour government will build 1.5m new homes across the country.

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

Our research today shows how the failure of successive government to act to solve the #HousingCrisis has caused poverty, overcrowding and homelessness is escalating at a rapid rate.

We need long-term thinking and funding on housing #SocialHousing

What social housing rents are for #ukhousing https://t.co/oJMhZce3Sx

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

The shortage of #SocialHousing has led to rising poverty, homelessness and social inequality. It also has a knock-on impact on people’s mental and physical health.

UK voters recognise the value of social housing and the broader societal benefits it has.

This group of experts is speaking with one voice - the country need legislation that makes building more affordable homes easier, not harder #ukhousing #HousingCrisis

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

We have signed a letter to @michaelgove urging the govt to halt the Infrastructure Levy, which threatens affordable home delivery.

Our Policy Leader @NHFMarie spoke to @Smyth_Chris at @TheTimes about why the govt must re think the changes to the levy.

We welcome the BSHR action plan from @natfednews & @CIHhousing and look forward to working with them to improve the quality of our homes & services. We also need govt to invest in a strategy for #SocialHousing which includes the regeneration of existing homes and communities.
