Clarion Housing Association Urges New PM Burnham to Partner on Housing
This sponsored article from LabourList, written by Clarion Housing Group, welcomes Andy Burnham as the new Prime Minister and urges him to partner with housing associations to address the UK housing crisis. It references Burnham's recent speech calling Britain a 'housing trap' and his pledge for the biggest council housebuilding programme since WWII. Clarion highlights its partnership with Burnham in Manchester on the Boddingtons brewery redevelopment, which will provide the first new social rent homes in the city centre in 40 years. The article notes the Labour government's £39 billion Social and Affordable Homes Programme but warns against a slow start due to high waiting lists and rising private rents. Clarion positions itself as a strategic partner with a pipeline of over 22,800 homes, including a proposed garden community of 7,750 homes in Tendring. It calls for long-term certainty, flexibility, and treating housing associations as strategic partners from the outset.
