There are many families waiting
More than 8,000 households are waiting for a council home in Nottingham, city council bosses have revealed as they laid bare the extent of the social housing crisis. Nottingham City Council is only able to provide between 1,400 to 1,600 properties a year, and said a further 6,000 households were annually presenting as homeless.
Steve Feast, director of transition at NCH, said demand was only increasing for affordable properties. He said both financing and the city's geography were presenting the biggest obstacles. Earlier this year, the city council was found to have used £40m of ringfenced cash from the Housing Revenue Account on general council services. Of this total, £17.1m is understood to have been potentially misspent by NCH, which denied the claims.
The city council said it was working with private landlords and developers to provide more affordable homes, and was increasing the supply of council housing. One of those schemes is Kieron Hill Court, which was unveiled in Clifton this week.
