This Government is committed to the Right to Buy, which has helped nearly two million council tenants to realise their dream of home ownership.
The Prime Minister announced on 9 June 2022, the intention extend the Right to Buy to housing association tenants.
We will be working closely with the housing association sector as we develop the scheme, including the approach to those living in rural areas, and will announce more details in due course.
