Councils to fall short of social housing target

While Government has promised 3,800 new social houses in 2018, local authorities are set to miss these targets by almost 620 homes.

Government failed to meet its targets last year, building just 2,245 new homes of the 2,424 promised. These were delivered through local authority direct builds, Approved Housing Bodies, regeneration projects and Part V.
