AdvertisementForeign nationals with EU settled status, refugee status, or specific humanitarian protections can currently qualify for social housing. Under the Tories’ plan, any single person currently living in social housing who is not a UK, Irish or EU citizen would lose their home. For future tenancies, UK nationals and those with EU settled status would be eligible, however any new EU citizens without settled status would not be. “No amount of headline-chasing, or following Reform to the extremes, can hide the damage the Tories did to our housing system.”
