This Bill would let local councils decide their near-term housing needs and how many social housing allocations to make. It aims to increase local control over housing allocation decisions, rather than relying on national targets.
The bill started in the Lords, completed its 1st and 2nd readings in 2022, but the Lords discharged the order of commitment in March 2023, so it has not advanced through a committee stage and has not progressed in the Commons.
