"The mayor of London's housing advisor was right to bang the drum for investment in affordable housing on the Guardian housing network
last week. But it's a curious message to deliver on the day that the
government announced its package of barely affordable homes using a
grant cut by two thirds.
"The mayor made his manifesto commitment
to deliver 50,000 affordable homes in three years on the back of a
£3.7bn affordable housing grant. To put this in context, even if the
mayor had met this target (moving the goalpost by a full year) that
wouldn't have been enough to meet the pressing need for social housing."
