Hugely positive to see Andy Burnham put housing at the top of the agenda. With affordable delivery rising and momentum building, now is the time to build on this progress and accelerate the delivery of social homes across the country. Read our response to yesterday's speech:

Kate Henderson, Chief Executive of the National Housing Federation, said:

"Andy Burnham is absolutely right to say that everything starts with a good home and we strongly support his mission to put this at the top of our country's list of priorities.

"Latest figures show we are now building more social rent homes than in over a decade, demonstrating support for our sector is already making a difference on the ground.

“We want to keep this momentum going and continue working with local leaders and communities to drive the biggest boost to social housing since the post war period."

Positive to see a strong commitment to safe-guarding social housing in today's King's Speech, alongside holding those responsible for unsafe buildings to account. 👉Read our full response: www.housing.org.uk/news-and-blo...

Today's King's Speech demonstrates the government's commitment to protecting the supply of social housing for future generations.

Housing associations are committed to making their buildings safe as quickly as possible. We strongly welcome measures to hold those responsible for dangerous defects to account, something we have consistently called for and which will help accelerate safety work across the sector.

We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with government to deliver a decade of renewal for social housing and to build the homes our country needs.
