One in 10 households in need of housing are stuck on
council waiting lists for over five years as a result of the chronic shortage
of affordable homes. A new report, Building post-pandemic prosperity,

100,000 green social homes for rent each year as part of the recovery from
COVID-19, to deliver net zero housing and “level-up” the nation. It also
reveals that as a result of the pandemic, council housing waiting lists could
almost double next year to as many as 2.1 million households, due to the impact
of Covid-related support schemes winding down and a potential increase in
homelessness. Read more on the LGA website.
