NHF chief executive Kate Henderson has slammed housing
associations having to bid directly against developers “making millions” from
luxury properties while 1.3m children live in PRS poverty. That 1.3m figure is revealed in newly released NHF
research that shows an increase of 537,325 children (69%) living in poverty in
privately rented homes in England since 2008. Urging “more direct” government
funding for social housing, Henderson says, nearly half (46%) of all children
in privately rented homes in England live in poverty – despite seven in ten
(71%) of their families being in work. Read more on the NHF website.
