Just One Social Home Delivered For Every 175 Households On Waiting Lists

More than one million households sat on social housing waiting lists at the end of March this year while fewer than 7,000 social homes were built by the year end, newly released government figures show. Figures released by the MHCLG show that 1.15 million households sat on social housing waiting lists at the end 2020/21, while figures released last week show that 6,566 new social homes were delivered at 2020/21 year end. This means just one social home was delivered for every 175 families on council housing waiting lists across the country. Read more on Inside Housing.
