BPF's response to the Labour housing announcement

Our Director of Policy Ian Fletcher said "The only way to tackle the housing emergency is to build more homes. It is therefore welcome to see solutions to the housing crisis from the major parties featuring strongly in the election. Besides homes for sale and affordable housing, there is a desperate need to also increase the supply of market rental homes, student accommodation, and older peoples’ housing. These sectors build 35,000 homes a year, when need is for 100,000. Next week we will set out in our housing manifesto how they can do more to boost supply, and help us reach the overall 300,000 homes-a-year target."
