70,000 social and affordable homes to be built across England

Ministers have announced a £39bn plan to build 70,000 social and affordable homes across England over the next 10 years.

Funding has been granted to Greater Manchester, the West Midlands, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, North East England, and Liverpool, as well as £6bn for London.

Under Labour, homeless figures have continued to rise to record levels. Data released earlier this month suggested 177,530 children were homeless in temporary accommodation.

Anti-social behaviour orders are being used to evict families from their homes and into temporary accommodation, with many facing homelessness for the first time.
