A roof over our heads

摘要

Our housing crisis demands action. Spiralling house prices are forcing difficult choices on families, distorting places and hampering growth. It is clear that there is no silver bullet. Every local area is different and the housing challenges and their solutions are complex and vary around the country. Local government shares the collective national ambition to build one million new homes but has always argued that councils must have a renewed and leading role in building homes and prosperous places. This is absolutely crucial now. Private housebuilders are facing a period of economic uncertainty which could make it more difficult for them to deliver the homes we need.
