Brokenshire Goes Public With New Housing Proposals

The government is ready to release £450m to speed up delivery of homes on sites of surplus public sector land and encouraging pace and modern methods of construction as a part of the building process. But such funding will no longer be able to use the money for ‘unjustified’ new leasehold houses. Announced by communities secretary, James Brokenshire, other measures include the new proposals for three-year minimum tenancy term and the launch of a new £100m Community Housing Fund, to deliver affordable housing tailored to local needs, putting communities in the driving seat.
