Government ‘Should Raise HRA’ So Councils Can Tackle Housing Crisis


Research by the New Local Government Network (NLGN) reveals affordable housing efforts would benefit from a reconsideration of the borrowing cap for local authorities.

The research, commissioned by the National Housing Federation, outlines the collaboration between local government and housing associations, who are committed to providing affordable housing in line with current demand.  Download the report from the NLGN website.
