Petition Classify affordable housing as critical national infrastructure

Classify affordable housing as critical national infrastructure to address the lack of supply of safe, accessible and affordable housing. This single action could allow for long-term investment and planning to provide a fundamental human need: shelter.

More details

We believe homelessness is spiralling out of control and local authorities are struggling. Shelter reported that 300,000+ people are homeless in England and 130,000+ people in temporary accommodation. We believe we need long term planning & long-term investment to prioritise infrastructure spending and giving a boost to jobs. If the Government designated data centres as critical national infrastructure, we believe affordable housing should be as well.
