Housing In Crisis But Government Can Do Something

Three-quarters of Britons think that there is a national housing crisis according to research for the CIH’s annual conference.

Undertaken before the Grenfell tragedy, the survey found 82% agree that “everyone should have a right to be able to live in a decent quality home whether or not they own it”. Only 5% disagree.

The survey also found:

·         The public largely reject the notion that there is “isn’t much that British Governments can do to solve country’s housing problems”

·         buying/renting is harder than it was for their parents’ generation

·         there is not enough affordable housing to buy/rent locally,

·         Confidence that the Government has the right policies to deal with the country’s housing problems remains low
