The latest National Housing Federation (NHF) figures revealed that up to three million people could be stuck in overcrowded housing. The NHF also forsees a 20% rise in the number of families having to occupy an overcrowded house by 2013. This represents a rise from 2.5m to just over 3.04m.
As for the reason for the shortage of housing, the NHF claimed the reduction in house-building was responsible for the problem. If that is the case then it’s no surprise, when you consider that only 123,000 homes were built over the last 12 months, that’s the lowest figure for 87 years. At the last count, a record 4.5 million people in England are on housing waiting lists.
