Voluntary Right to Buy (VRTB) Scheme for Housing Associations - Update Needed

Closed 1,539 signatures

What the petition asks

This petition calls for an update from UK government on the Voluntary Right to Buy Scheme which proposes for the Right to Buy to be extended to Housing Association tenants in England (as pledged in Conservative Manifesto in 2015, piloted with 5 associations and gaining Royal Assent in 2016).
The government should confirm intentions to deliver the scheme nationally as pledged in 2015. Detail is needed on the timeline for when the scheme will be rolled out nationally, and what the criteria will be for those wishing to apply to purchase their home.
