Our research with @HomeBuildersFed & @Savills in @thetimes shows: 🚨Govt will miss its 1.5mill homes target by 500k homes without funding & policy intervention 🚨The only way to plug this gap & build the homes we need is funding for #SocialHousing 👉thetimes.com/life-style/prop…

To fix child homelessness and provide the security of social homes for more families, we need a long-term #PlanForHousing. Ahead of #GE24, we join @natfednews in calling on the next government to help us build the #AffordableHomes the country needs and solve the #HousingCrisis

There are eight million people with unmet housing need, and over a million families on housing waiting lists in the UK. We join the call for a long-term #PlanforHousing to build sustainable, affordable and high quality homes fit for the future. @natfednews #ukhousing

Here our Chief Exec @KateNHF sets out our concerns about the new Right To Buy proposals. We support homeownership but don’t want to see a loss of desperately needed social homes.
As Boris Johnson says his plans to extent the Right to Buy scheme will turn "Generation Rent" to "Generation Buy", @ClaudiaLizaTV talks to @natfednews Chief Executive @KateNHF to find out if these plans could actually make the UK housing crisis worse. #5News

#RightToBuy pilots have shown that there is not enough money from sales to build new social homes to replace those sold, meaning a net loss of social housing - our statement: housing.org.uk/news-and-blog…

Ahead of my Westminster Hall debate on affordable housing tomorrow I met up with @WeAreLiveWest, one of the largest affordable housing providers in the SW. There are many developers that really are providing the homes we need locally, but there is clearly more to be done. 🏠

The lack of affordable homes in #NDevon is a major issue. Last week I attended the @Homes4SW event with MPs from across the House where affordable housing suppliers detailed what more could be done locally to address the lack of affordable properties being built. 🏠

There are not enough genuinely affordable homes for local people in Plymouth or the wider south west. Last week I met with @Homes4SW in Parliament to discuss ways to scale up the delivery of good quality, affordable homes for local residents.

There are not enough genuinely affordable homes for local people in Torbay. I met this week with @Homes4SW in Parliament to discuss ways to scale up the delivery of good quality, affordable homes for people in Torbay who are all too often priced out of the property market.

Great to meet @Homes4SW at their parliamentary reception this week. We discussed how we can work together to deliver good quality, affordable homes for people in #BristolSouth to address the housing shortage for local people who are too often priced out of the property market.

Today I met with representatives from Housing Associations across the South West at the @Homes4SW event in Parliament. Good to talk with Robert Nettleton, Chief Exec. of @Bromford about the lack of land availability for building homes and the slow pace of the planning process.
