Channel 4 announce new TV show to “challenge our preconceptions of the way housing is allocated”
Filmed over six months in Tower Hamlets and Manchester, with access to the councils’ homeless persons’ unit and lettings teams, new three-part series I Want A Council House will step inside the council, onto the estate and into the bedsit to document the reality of life for some of the 1.8 million people living on Britain’s social housing list. I Want A Council House will also follow the journeys of the families and individuals already on the housing list bidding for homes, the system by which the council decide who should get a property and the decision making process of those who are eventually offered a home.
