Social and Affordable Housing

[Your CLP] notes that:

  • The government has recently announced £2 billion in new funding for social and affordable housing to help deliver up to 18,000 homes, with construction to begin on sites by March 2027.
  • The announcement forms part of the government’s wider Plan for Change, with the ambitious goal of building 1.5 million new homes and advancing 150 major infrastructure project decisions ahead of the next General Election.


[Your CLP] believes that:

  • This investment is a vital step towards tackling the ongoing housing crisis.
  • Everyone deserves a safe and secure place to live, and the ongoing housing crisis has left too many families struggling to find affordable homes.
  • The government must continue to prioritise social and affordable house building, with a focus on the needs of vulnerable and low-income households, to help bridge the gap between the demand for housing and the available supply.


[Your CLP] resolves to:

  • Support the government's commitment to building 1.5 million new homes, with a particular focus on social and affordable housing, to address the housing crisis and provide stability for working families.
  • Actively promote this investment to voters through campaign literature, social media and other sources.
  • Advocate for more resources to be allocated to social housing projects in our area, ensuring that they meet the needs of local communities and provide opportunities for homeownership, rental security, and economic growth.
