Affordable Housing: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much and what proportion of funding remains to be (a) allocated and (b) spent through the Affordable Homes Programme.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
As the Deputy Prime Minister made clear in her written ministerial statement of 30 July 2024, the government is aware that, particularly outside London, almost all the 2021-26 Affordable Homes Programme funding is contractually committed.
The programme is delivered by the Greater London Authority (GLA) in London and by Homes England in the rest of England. Homes England’s Annual Report and Financial statements for 2023/24 confirm that, by the end of 2023/24, Homes England had invested £3.7 billion of its £7.4 billion budget for the 2021-26 programme.
The GLA does not publish details of its capital spending for individual programmes.
