The experiences of millions of families squeezed by soaring housing costs, thousands of children growing up in (at best unstable, at worst unsafe) temporary accommodation, and many of those sleeping rough on the streets have been immeasurably shaped by the lack of housing they can afford.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth the prime minster and the leader of the opposition have made fixing the housing crisis a key component of their domestic policy agendas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yet while all parties increasingly recognise the electoral significance of housing, it is vital we do not forget those sometimes heard less loudly at the ballot box.<\/p>\n<p>Since the millennium, the amount of people renting privately has doubled due to a decline in council house development.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-48394 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/jghkdgd-300x211.png\" alt=\"social housing \" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/jghkdgd-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/jghkdgd-100x70.png 100w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/jghkdgd.png 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This has forced many more housing benefit recipients to rent in the private sector which costs the taxpayer\u00a025% more on average, compared to one recipient living in social housing.<\/p>\n<p>In order to tackle the situation, the CSJ are urging the Government to prioritise the building of social housing in the planning system over so-called &#8216;affordable homes&#8217;
