Housing MHK says providing for most in need is key
An MHK feels it's too early to say whether there'll be an increased need for affordable homes in the fallout from Covid-19.
Julie Edge is the member of the Department of Infrastructure with responsibility for housing.
The DoI is consulting with national and local politicians for feedback on a new affordable housing strategy, which is focused on providing homes to those 'most in need'.
Mrs Edge says whatever the outcome of the pandemic, the focus should be on providing homes to those most in need:

Hospice funding criticised by UK charity chief amid Isle of Man service cuts
Sailings cancelled as storm brings gale-force winds
