Affordable Housing: Rural Areas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what proportion of Homes England's Affordable Homes Programme was invested in new affordable homes in rural settlements with a population of 3,000 or fewer in each of the last three years.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
Homes England publish allocations data for the 2021-2026 Affordable Homes Programme. This can be found on gov.uk here.
With regard to their Continuous Market Engagement (CME) activity to the end of March 2023, Homes England made allocations for 1,862 homes in areas with a population of less than 3,000 (10% of all CME allocations).
Further updates on allocations, including those with Strategic Partners, which make up a large proportion of programme delivery, will be released in due course.
