Living in a safe, well-insulated, decent home is essential to health and wellbeing. But our current system is not meeting the significant demand for quality affordable homes. That's why we need to diversify how homes are being built to meet social rent targets. Shelter's new Brick by Brick report highlights the potential 7,600 social rent homes CLTs could contribute to social housing delivery every year for the next 5 years - but only if our new government can provide funding and amend site allocations, planning and regulation policies to support CLTs.

It includes a substantial section on Community Land Trusts, which we estimated could make up 8% of that target.
