Secure, affordable housing for everyone
We all want somewhere warm, safe and secure to call home.
But we have a housing crisis with soaring private rents while social housing is being sold off left, right and centre.
We need homes that people can afford to live in.
We will:
- Abolish the cruel and unfair bedroom tax.
- Build 500,000 social rented homes by 2020 and bring empty homes back into use to ensure everyone has access to an affordable place to live.
- Cap rent and introduce longer tenancies to provide greater protection for renters.
