Ahead of the Housing and Planning Bill moving to the House of Lords, SHOUT - the campaign for genuinely affordable social housing, has updated its Parliamentary Briefing on the areas of the new legislation which pose challenges to the core goals of our campaign -providing safe and decent homes that people can afford to live in.

Our research on the Bill as it stands can be read by clicking here.

This briefing covers issues around Starter Homes, the Pay To Stay policy, the extension of the Right To Buy to Housing associations, the mandatory sale of high value council properties and the deregulation of housing associations. Although many of the peers involved in the debate will have extensive knowledge about the far-reaching consequences of the Bill, SHOUT encourages all our followers to make as many of them as possible aware of the issues before the debate, which may be happening as early as next week, commencing 25/01/2016.
