Tory-led cuts have seen more than 150,000 homes for
social rent disappear in the last five year, new analysis has revealed. The
Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) has calculated the number of homes
available to rent by those on lower incomes has dropped by almost four percent
since 2012. CIH predicts that a further 79,000 will be lost by 2020 as it
warned of the “urgent need” for more support for the social housing sector. The
coalition government cut the money available for social homes in 2010, with
resources diverted into ‘affordable rent’ schemes. Read more on the CIH
website.
