520			_aReport shows that the government is unlikely to meet its targets for house building set in 2007 - partially as a result of the credit crunch. Suggests that the targets should be retained as a useful barometer of the need for new houses and advocates an increased focus on affordable housing. Discusses government responses (including the buying up of unsold new build stock) to current events and posits that the government would be wise to simplify its current offerings of affordable housing schemes. Mentions that affordability is still an issue for many, despite falls in capital values.
