Government looking into creation of Manx housing association

Chief minister discussing affordability at British-Irish Council meeting

A study into whether the Isle of Man should have a housing association is underway.

Alfred Cannan is currently in Jersey for the latest meeting of the British-Irish Council - with a focus on green and affordable building practices.

The Council of Ministers has tasked the DOI Minister with putting together a feasibility study for a new board - modelled on Jersey's housing association, Andium Homes.

Mr Cannan confirmed a report is due later this year:
