A new study shows how greed is killing off social housing
A survey [paywall] by Inside Housing lists the 50 housing associations (HAs) that built the most homes in Britain in 2017/18.
The findings seem to show an industry more interested in profit than solving the housing crisis.
Unspoken agreement
As The Canary previously reported, there is a stark difference between ‘affordable’ and ‘social’ homes. ‘Affordable’ homes can actually increase ‘affordability pressure’ in areas with the highest prices. Therefore, a raft of new homes for social rent is vital to arrest a decade of decline.
