Labour has proposed scrapping the affordable rent tenure
in its social housing review. The paper suggests replacing the rent product –
which was introduced by the coalition government and can be up to 80% of market
rates – with a new income-linked definition of affordable housing. Before the
last general election, Labour pledged to fund ‘Living Rent’ homes capped at a
third of local incomes. It also now calls for a new “Decent Homes 2” target for
social landlords to improve fire safety in the wake of the Grenfell Tower
disaster. Download the review from the Labour Party website.
