Joint spending review submission from groups representing 75 housing associations and councils calls for consolidation of funding pots and reclassification of housing investment as infrastructure spend
The government should overhaul housing funding by consolidating grant into just two pots and reclassifying spend on homes as infrastructure, according to regional groups representing a total of 75 social landlords.
Six housing partnerships – groups of social landlords – in the devolved regions across Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside, along with Homes for the South West, have come together for the first time to produce a joint submission to government.
The partnerships (see box below), which collectively own or manage more than 1.7 million homes, are calling for “long-term investment” in the June spending review to “accelerate housing delivery, enable sustained economic growth, and create lasting prosperity.”
