May's housing association funding promise slammed as too little too late
THERESA MAY’s promise today that housing associations (HA) could receive some funding after 2021 was described as too little too late after years of Tory neglect of social housing.
The Prime Minister said that £2 billion would be offered to some HAs to build tens of thousands of homes up until 2028-29.
This amount was slammed as just a drop in the ocean since the Tories abolished grants for social landlords to build homes for genuinely affordable rents in 2010.
