Another day, another new initiative to help solve our growing housing crisis. Buried in an announcement that the government is introducing a £40bn UK Guarantees scheme to accelerate the delivery of "nationally significant" infrastructure projects we find an extra £6bn available in temporary loans for 30 public-private partnership projects.

In the days leading up to this announcement, some of us working in housing and construction were optimistic. Could this be the solution we have been waiting for, helping us to deliver the government's own target of 240,000 homes per year?
