Recommendation 28

28 Paragraph: 135

Publish clear targets for net additions of social and affordable rent homes

Recommendation
The Government must start by providing a clear direction for the social housing sector: it should publish a target for how many social rent homes it intends to secure, and explain the reasoning behind it. The confusion and delay around targets must end now. The Government should set clear targets for net additions of social rent, affordable rent and shared ownership under the Affordable Homes Programme and should provide these in its response to this report.
