The Government has today set out plans for a radical reform to the social housing system.

It includes:

  • changes to tenure
  • the management of waiting lists
  • homelessness duty

It also covers the introduction of new 'affordable rent' tenancies and changes to the system of council housing finance.

It includes measures to improve mobility and to tackle overcrowding and under-occupying.
