There are 28 million families in the UK. [1]

Your article implies there are 25 million houses and 1 million is empty. [2]

The empty houses in the photos are not suitable for living in and should be condemned if they haven’t already. Rebuilding a mid-terrace house is not simple and even after blow all of that we managed 1 million out of the 4 million required to at least have one home per family. That sounds like a terrible plan to work on the most expensive work and ultimately not make a dent in the issue.
