answer text <p>The Government remains vigilant about the inequalities experienced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has brought forward a new and ambitious integration strategy. The Integrated Communities Strategy Green Paper, published in March, invites views on the Government’s vision for building strong integrated communities where people – whatever their background – live, work, learn and socialise together, based on shared rights, responsibilities and opportunities. We encourage all groups, including Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, to engage with the Green Paper.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Housing is a devolved matter in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.</p><p>The Government is committed to reducing the number of long-term empty homes to increase the supply of housing.</p><p>In England, the number of long-term empty homes is down by nearly a third since 2010. At May 2010 over 300,000 homes had been standing empty for longer than 6 months. As of October 2017 the number of long term empty properties had fallen to 205,293.</p><p>Local authorities in England have powers and strong incentives to tackle empty homes, and through the New Homes Bonus they earn the same financial reward for bringing an empty home back into use as building a new one.</p><p>The Rating (Property in Common Occupation) and Council Tax (Empty Dwellings) Bill, which was introduced on 28 March, proposes to strengthen the powers available to local authorities to tackle empty homes in England. Local authorities will be able to charge a 100 per cent council tax premium (currently 50 per cent) to homes that have been empty for at least two years.</p><p>Local authorities in England also have a discretionary power under Section 215 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to deal with derelict land and buildings.</p>

This built on the consultation undertaken as part of the Housing White Paper last year. The consultation is open until 10 May.</p><p>Since 2010, we have delivered over 357,000 new affordable homes, including over 257,000 affordable homes for rent.</p><p>Affordable housing remains the Government’s priority. That’s why the Prime Minister recently announced an additional £2 billion funding for affordable housing, increasing the Affordable Homes Programme 2016-21 budget to over £9 billion to deliver a wide range of affordable housing, including social rent homes, by March 2021.</p> more like this
