The fact that only 9% of service personnel own property, should get those in the MoD and DCLG thinking of a strategic plan to help. The current schemes are failing due to the lack of investment by those in power. I mentioned on here before about those suffering from PTSD, its now hit the news headlines that the number of service personnel suffering has increased by 50% in the past year. If these soldiers are discharged and have to arrange their own future housing needs, then there will be an increase of homeless veterans. If the Government is able to pool 10% of social housing for immigration then why not the same for medically discharged service personnel?
