Hi There.
             The government have little oversight of our housing needs and no coherent national plan for the future of our housing needs,indeed they refuse to say that there is a crisis in the rental accommodation market.When it comes to housing it would seem that housing has an identity crisis,is it a basic human right,like our universal commitment to the right to an education.

             The present housing policies are complicated and unwieldy,so much so that the Salvation Army and the Methodist Mission have stated that they will not be participating in any transfer of state houses. This will make the government happy as they will now sell them to private investors,saying they spoke to social housing providers and they rejected the offer to transfer the state houses to their keeping.
              There is no doubt about the intentions of the government to remove its self from provision of rental housing at a time when the need for affordable housing has never been greater.
