Ahead of the next general election, we’re calling for all political parties to commit to a long-term plan for housing. 👉There are two million children in England living in overcrowded, unaffordable or unsuitable homes. 👉There are eight million people with unmet housing need, and over a million families on housing waiting lists. 👉We need at least 167,000 more supported homes by 2040. But It doesn't have to be this way By building a long-term plan which delivers real change for the people who need it most, the next government can transform the housing system and create lasting solutions that serve people, the planet and our economy. A long-term plan could do the following by 2035: Fix child homelessness Halve overcrowding Provide the security of a social home for one million more people Ensure a warm and decent home for seven million more families Improve affordability Boost productivity by ensuring every region has the homes it needs to grow.
