SENATOR S.Y. MÉZEC
Note: After this amendment, the proposition would read as follows –
THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion
to request the Council of Ministers to withdraw the guidance on affordable housing which has been provided to the States of Jersey Development Company, as found in the reports Housing Policy Guidance: Housing affordability and the South Hill development' (R.139/2021) and Action on Housing – recent progress and Waterfront guidance' (R.157/2021), and to issue new guidance which stipulates a minimum provision of affordable housing at no less than 50% of the homes built in the proposed developments on the Waterfront and South Hill.

REPORT
The Government should be aiming to truly maximise the delivery of affordable housing in Jersey to address our housing crisis. Ideally, every home which is built on government-owned land should be designated as affordable in some shape or form. This amendment gives the Assembly the choice of a more ambitious target of 50%, rather than my original proposition's target of 30% (which is double that which the Government is proposing).
Financial and manpower implications
There are no financial and manpower implications.
