No family should be left without a secure place to call home 🏠

That’s why this Labour Government is investing nearly £10 billion to help councils, housing associations and local partners build more than 70,000 new social and affordable homes across England.

This will help families out of temporary accommodation and people stuck on housing waiting lists.

It’s first step in our £39 billion programme to deliver the biggest expansion of social and affordable housing in a generation 💪
