Polly Neate (CEO of Shelter) on social housing:
'We need to build 90,000 social homes a year for ten years, with all rents tied to local incomes. ... this would not only eradicate homelessness, it would pay for itself – returning an impressive £37.8bn back to the economy in just three years. It would also save the taxpayer money, boost jobs, reduce the burden of poor housing on our NHS & improve children’s life chances.'
All that's needed is the political will!
