Housing Minister Grant Shapps and Communities Minister Andrew Stunell have taken the next steps towards the biggest reforms to social housing for a generation, moving power from Whitehall to town halls. Ministers have set out proposals for how all social landlords will be required to show how their tenancy plans will provide for and protect the most vulnerable, including families with children. In these further details of reforms, Ministers also outlined the extra freedom from central control that councils will be given, so they can target help on the people in their communities who need it most. Ministers also confirmed that all tenants will have access to a National Home Swap Scheme, making it easier for them to move should their situation change. Read more on the CLG website.
