On the solution being offered to the 2,000 non-engagers, how severe is the requirement to be eligible for social housing? Is there much room for objective judgment? A person resident in a house such as Gorse Hill might or might not automatically be on the social housing list. If the bank judges a person to be a significant earner, how severe is the assessment? Could the bank use the eligibility for social housing to put a line through many of the 2,000 and prevent them from getting what they thought they would get?
