Make it compulsory for the government to provide social housing for all who want it
Social housing supply in the uk is dwindling and the waiting lists have reached over 1.5 million households long. Many people who require social housing are being housed temporarily in B&Bs, many of them children. The building of new social housing is limited and therefore families are being forced to find alternatives such as private rentals, that for many are impossible to finance. As a result many people are suffering the consequences of governments actions in not building enough social housing to meet the demand.
Why is this important?
This is an important issue as more and more people find themselves in financial hardship as the impacts of coronavirus on the economy become more rife. it is therefore important tat the government building and supplying of social housing aligns with need, to ensure all who want social housing are able. This is imperative for millions of peoples physical and mental wellbeing.
