The National Housing Federation has predicted that forthcoming housing cuts will lead to the loss (or lack of creation) of 200,000 jobs, and to 350,000 people being added to housing waiting lists. If the housing budget is cut by a third, it predicts that 142,000 new affordable homes will not be built.
