Plans to build 20,000 low-carbon social homes for rent in Wales by 2026 have been set out by the Welsh government s climate change minister.
The hope is to tackle both a housing shortage and the nation s greenhouse gas emissions.
Housing associations say it could lead to thousands of jobs and training opportunities.
But the Welsh government s opponents have said they would have gone further and built more.
All the houses will meet what the government describes as bold, new quality and environmental standards .
