Social Housing: Who is it for? Where will the money come from? |

Tuesday, 08 May 2012 |

Committee Room 14, Palace of Westminster
The UK faces a crisis in housing. Despite the Government declaring its commitment to expanding owner-occupation through right-to-buy, at a time when homeownershop is falling, the UK is becoming a country where individuals and families rent for a significant period in their life. The average age of a first time buyer is now 38 and young people face not only expensive house prices but also less mortgage lending and high deposit barriers. The housing reality for many young people is renting. The bedrock of renting in the UK has always been social housing, which still makes up to 18 per cent of households in Great Britain. Here too the Government has introduced a myriad of fundamental reforms which change the nature of social housing, alongside £4bn of social housing cuts. Yet 1.8 million households are on the social housing waiting list indicating a real housing need. |

In advance of the London 2012 Olympic Games, the Young Fabians have been offered a tour of the Olympic Park. Five years after winning the right to host the Games, and less than 80 days before the Games begin, this is a great chance to see the impressive regeneration project that has taken place in East London.
The tour will take in all of the major arenas, from the Olympic stadium - the lightest ever built - to the Zaha Hadid-designed Aquatics Centre and the Velopark.
There are a set number of places available due to the nature of the tour, so if you would like to join in please email Steve Race on

At the end of 2011 youth unemployment hit 1million and Britain's young people are again at risk of being haunted by the prospect of becoming a lost generation. For Young Fabians this prospect must spur us to think and to act. That's why this year, we will be launching, a Young Fabians Jobs Plan. Between now and Labour's Annual Conference, we will be going up and down the country looking at projects to get young people into work, lessons we can learn from the past and projects we can put in place now to prevent the prospect of a lost generation. To read an article in the Winter 2012 edition of Anticipations on the Young Fabian Jobs Plan click here and if you would like to work with us on the Young Fabian Jobs Plan, email Brian Duggan on
