Response: CLG allocations policy consultation

We agree wholeheartedly with the Minister's view that 'social housing is of enormous importance - for the millions who live in it now, and for the many more who look to social housing to provide the support they need to live safe, healthy and prosperous lives'. We are therefore disappointed that the majority of the consultation questions are aimed at local housing authorities. We feel it is very important that the views and needs of current, prospective and future social housing tenants are the foremost consideration in any guidance on how to implement the new legislative measures.
