Launch a review into reforming social housing so families with young children aren’t trapped in unsafe, overcrowded flats. The review should look into creating fairer allocation rules, offering suitable downsizing options for older tenants, and ensuring families have access to a safe, healthy home.

Members can read every reason.
Require councils to review social housing tenancies
People are being left without support, while some social housing tenants remain in subsidised homes despite earning high incomes or no longer meeting the need criteria.
Conduct review of abandoned buildings and potential to refurbish into shelters
We call on the Government to work with property owners, county councils, town councils and building companies/charities to conduct a review of abandoned buildings. The review should consider whether these buildings can be refurbished into shelters for the homeless, and for children under 18.
Review PRS homes run by social landlords and require fair redress
We want Parliament to review how social landlords and council-owned companies manage private rentals, if they are providing clear tenancy terms, transparent advertising, introducing mandatory inspections and a guaranteed redress route for all PRS (private rental sector) tenants.
Housing repairs delayed by social landlord
A resident has experienced over a year of delays for kitchen flooring work through RHP, including multiple appointment cancellations and incomplete work. The kitchen floor remains unfinished and unusable.
Commission an independent inquiry into social care and social work
We call on the Government to commission an independent inquiry into the delivery of social work and social care services before making further progress on the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill.
