The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to support the Build to Rent sector.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The government is committed to supporting the Build to Rent sector. We are unlocking nearly £2 billion in additional lending through the Private Rented Sector Guarantee Scheme and have announced a £700 million extension to the Home Building Fund to help deliver more homes alongside institutional investors, including those provided by Build to Rent operators.
