Church of England to tackle Housing Crisis

May 27, 2022

Prayers might be answered when it comes to the country’s housing problem thanks to the Church of England – “Church and industry leaders have met to build on plans for 30,000 new homes, including 9,000 affordable homes, from 60 sites across England.” source bigissue.com

This might not be quite vicars and priests as landlords, more that the inherited wealth which goes to the Church of England will see money put aside to create a designated housing association to manage the build of new and affordable homes within communities.

 

 

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby is reported to have said: “The priority of the housing crisis is getting worse rather than better because of high levels of inflation and very rapidly rising levels of poverty, with incomes rising far below the level of inflation, and the likelihood of recession – all these have put enormous pressure on housing.“
