Members approved by 32 to eight proposals for the reform of social housing put forward by Housing Minister Andrew Green, which will change the way the Island handles its housing stock, worth in excess of £500 million.
It is hoped that the plans, which were brought by the Council of Ministers, will see an end to unsuitable housing for those who cannot afford to rent or buy in the private sector, provide a way for more social rented units to be built and also ensure that both new and existing properties meet the decent homes standard.
