Decision details

The Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee undertook an inquiry into the provision of affordable housing, across all tenures, in Wales. The terms of reference for the inquiry were:

• the effectiveness of public subsidy in delivering affordable housing, in particular Social Housing Grant;
• whether alternatives to public subsidy are being fully exploited;
• whether the Welsh Government, local authorities and RSLs are effectively utilising their powers to increase both the supply of, and access to, affordable housing;
• whether there sufficient collaborative working between local authorities, RSLs, financial institutions and homebuilders;
• whether innovative methods of delivering affordable housing such as Community Land Trusts or co-operatives could be promoted more effectively by the Welsh Government.

The item started at 14.34.
