Housing - the facts!

So. No pressure on the housing shortage from recent immigrants, eh?




"In total, five per cent of council and housing association homes are let to foreigners.
According to official figures, the average cost of providing new social housing is £133,941 per home.
The Government contributes an average £62,000 of taxpayers' cash and the rest comes from developers or social landlords.
The document, written by Joanne Roney of Sheffield City Council, said difficulties could arise if arrivals move into areas with little experience of immigrants. "
Immigrants occupy one in every 15 homes in England, according to an official report.
Foreign nationals live in almost 1.5million homes, of which 310,000 are council houses.
They have also purchased 570,000 houses and privately rent a further 600,000.




So, in total we have lost about 6.6% of our housing stock to this government's madness.
