UK Builds 70K Homes for Renters | Bermuda News

The UK government is launching a £10 billion affordable housing drive, targeting renter households—especially in London—with 60% of new homes set for social rent. While the previous administration started this effort, new PM Andy Burnham wants councils to directly manage all homes, echoing post-WWII models. But with councils lacking capacity, £7 billion will initially fund London’s share, where over half the first 70,000 homes will be built. Future phases will allocate £16 billion to regions outside London, prioritizing council housing and tying into broader devolution goals to empower mayors to shape local development.
