National Housing Federation

“The National Housing Federation said it believed the housing budget could be cut by up to 32% over four years.”

“This could lead to 200,000 construction jobs being lost or not created, and 350,000 people being added to housing waiting lists in England, it said.”

“if the housing budget was cut by a third, 142,000 planned affordable homes would not be built in the period up to 2020, and housing waiting lists would grow by 354,000.”

“Waiting lists for affordable housing are at a record level of 4.5 million people, and more than 2.6 million people are living in overcrowded conditions, the federation said.”

“just 123,000 homes were built in 2009-10, the lowest number since 1923, excluding the war years.”

“£44bn could be lost to the economy over a decade.”

“the number of new affordable homes built this year could slump by 65%.”

“Funding cuts and changes to the planning system could see as few as 20,390 homes built, the group said.”
