To tackle the housing emergency and lift millions out of bad housing and
homelessness, the government must use it’s nextBudget to:

• Restore LHA and keep in line with at least the 30th percentile of private rents to prevent homelessness in the cost of living crisis

• Invest in a 10-year Affordable Homes Programme of £12bn per year to deliver at least 90,000 social homes a year. A minimum of 80% of grant funding in the programme should go to homes for social rent, to focus government grant money on the most affordable tenure

• End ‘the £50 rule’ so that left behind places can get on and build the social rent homes they so clearly need

• Overhaul ‘Cost minimisation’ so building good quality, genuinely affordable social rent homes is viable everywhere

• Reinvest savings from the 7% social rent cap back into the social housing sector
