	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2023 answer text <p>Local authorities are responsible for allocating social housing and are best placed to manage demand. By law they must give 'reasonable preference' to specific groups, including people who are homeless, in overcrowded housing or who need to move for medical or welfare reasons. This is to ensure that the priority for social housing goes to those who need it most. These rules support larger families by giving priority to people who are in overcrowded housing.</p><p>Since 2010, we have delivered over 632,600 new affordable homes, including over 441,612 affordable homes for rent, of which over 162,800 homes for social rent. Our £11.5 billion Affordable Homes Programme will deliver thousands of affordable homes for both rent and to buy right across the country.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bishop Auckland answering member printed Dehenna Davison question first answered 23/02/2023 16:13:31 answering member 4737 label Biography information for Dehenna Davison

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/11/2022 answer text <p>The Government believes that there is considerable benefit in providing a consistent national framework for calculating maximum rents on Social Rent and Affordable Rent properties, regardless of whether the landlord happens to be local authority or a private registered provider. This framework, although set nationally, takes local factors into account and gives individual social landlords the discretion to set lower rents where they wish to do so.</p> answering member printed Baroness Scott of Bybrook question first answered 10/11/2022 16:13:48 answering member 4553 label Biography information for Baroness Scott of Bybrook
