A new council housebuilding comeback and a new generation of genuinely affordable homes.
The aim is simple: help families trapped in temporary accommodation or stuck on housing waiting lists move into safe, secure homes of their own.
No child should be raised in a hostel room, and no family should wait ten years for a front door of their own.
Nearly £10 billion will go to councils and housing associations to build genuinely affordable homes, most of them for social rent. Councils built this country out of a housing crisis once before. Act properly and trust them to get on with it, and they will do it again.
More council homes. More secure futures. A safe, affordable home for every family who needs one. 🇬🇧
