98 per cent of local authorities in England are failing to deliver enough affordable homes to meet need, a new website launched by Shelter has found. Shelter’s Housing League Table found that only 8 of 323 councils in England are providing enough or more affordable homes than are needed, meaning a 98 per cent local authority failure rate. Local authorities are responsible for identifying the housing need in their area and for ensuring enough affordable homes are provided to meet this need. However, Shelter league tables also show that in the last year a total of 90 per cent of councils (292) provided fewer than half the homes they say are needed.
