Start a Social Housing Build
The country needs this now more than ever but they need the powers to do so. This pandemic has shown that the current housing crisis policy of Private Rented Sector is a false economy. Affordable housing developments promote diversity, reduces overcrowding & creates communities.
Social housing gives people a home. It’s cheaper to rent than privately rented housing. We have seen the devastation of poor quality housing during this pandemic the impact this has had will be felt for years to come. This country and its people need this to happen. This is a necessity now. Good quality affordable housing we know, is much more than just having a roof over your head. The most important thing affordable housing provides is hope and the possibility of a better life.
