Housing Association Model Of Delivering Social Housing ‘Not Working’

The policy of relying on housing associations rather than councils to deliver social housing is ‘not working’. A study by the public sector procurement specialist Scape Group has found the average council in England would like to build 1,800 homes for social rent every year. However, it learnt that most councillors only expect to build up to 1,000 homes over the next decade. Scape polled 50 senior managers and decision-makers within local authorities in England and found that almost two-thirds (65%) were ‘very concerned’ about the provision of social rented housing in their area. This rose to 75% in the south, including London. Read more on the Local Gov website.
