A former assistant mayor of Liverpool has branded a housing company lauded by the former Mayor and promised to deliver 10,000 new homes as “a dog’s breakfast.”
Almost five years after launching Liverpool Foundation Homes, to “radically reshape” the city’s housing market, Liverpool Council moved the company into voluntary liquidation last year. A decision was taken by the council’s cabinet in October to wind down the operation that developed just 18 properties.
In a major launch back in 2018, then Mayor Joe Anderson said the new 'Foundations' company would deliver 10,000 properties across the city, fuelled by an estimated £500m investment programme. There would be a focus on building homes for foster families, the elderly, people with disabilities and the homeless as part of an 'ethical' housing company.
