Reform to prioritise young British-born workers for social housing

Reform to prioritise young British-born workers for social housing

Reform UK plans to put British-born workers under 35 at the front of the social housing waiting list. The party also wants to prioritise married couples with children and veterans, while building 50,000 affordable social homes a year. Labour called the proposals "unserious and unworkable", saying they would risk more families becoming homeless.
