Recommendation 26

26 Paragraph: 123

Set out assessment of new social homes built by for-profit providers and explain investor role.

Recommendation
Properly motivated and regulated private investors present a real opportunity to increase the building of social housing. The Government should set out its assessment of how many new social homes for-profit registered providers can be expected to build over the short and long term. In addition, the Government should engage with local authorities to explain the role it wants institutional investors to play in the social housing sector.
