Organisations want more new houses

Posted: 22 November 2001 | Subscribe Online


Three national housing organisations are calling for an extra £1.5bn annually from 2003-4 onwards, most of which should be spent on increasing the supply of new housing.

The Chartered Institute of Housing, the Local Government Association and the National Housing Federation have made a joint submission to the Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions and the Treasury outlining their priorities for the next spending review.

Extra money would be used to resource a new Housing Market Renewal Fund to increase the housing element of new regeneration projects and to simplify the housing benefit scheme.
