Migrants given priority for Social Housing
The Equality and Human Rights Commission says it has found no evidence to support
claims that new migrants are getting priority over UK-born residents for social
housing. The commission says its research found that less than two per cent of
all social housing residents are people who have moved to Britain in the last
five years and that nine out of 10 people who live in social housing were born
in the UK. http://www.lgcplus.com/5003703.article
