Commitment

State-led building of affordable homes

What this means

  • People Before Profit promised a State-led house building programme, meaning the government rather than private developers would decide what homes get built.[source]
  • The commitment was made in their November 2024 general election manifesto and is a promise, not yet a policy in action.[source]
  • As a first step, People Before Profit said they would declare a housing emergency, signalling urgency and potentially unlocking special government powers to act.[source]
  • This matters for accountability because it sets a clear test: if People Before Profit enter government, voters can check whether a housing emergency was declared and State building began.[source]
