In the UK, there is a housing supply shortage. The development of new homes is crucial in addressing societal needs, such as rising homelessness and temporary accommodation levels, and improving social security by building truly affordable and good quality homes. The government has announced a target of 1.5 million new homes in the current parliament, with a range of planning reforms to achieve this.
Housing providers play a key role in delivering the homes we need. This can be difficult in the current operating environment, with increased costs on existing stock, financial capacity restrictions, and a skills shortage in construction and planning. However, many organisations are successfully developing to meet our housing needs, and you can read more about these approaches in our content library below.
