UK plans £39 billion investment in social housing over 10 years, dubbed a "watershed moment."

The UK government plans to invest £39 billion over the next decade in social and affordable housing, marking the largest investment in 50 years. Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced the Affordable Homes Programme, aimed at addressing long-neglected social housing needs and providing more secure homes. Spending will reach £4 billion per year by 2029-2030, and charities have praised the move as a "watershed moment" in tackling the housing crisis.
