What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

The government announced a £210 million package intended to transform derelict shops, cinemas, and shopping centers across England into community hubs and shared workspaces, according to a report from localgov.co.uk. This funding includes a £125 million Derelict Buildings Fund and a £65 million fund to help communities rescue buildings at risk of closure. Separately, a new report found that achieving Andy Burnham's goal of delivering 300,000 social rent homes by 2036 would cost £47 billion, exceeding the current £39 billion available in the 10-year Social and Affordable Homes Programme.

The projected cost increase for the council house program highlights a substantial funding gap in the government's long-term housing strategy.
