The Greater London Authority (GLA) publish all approvals for grant under the affordable housing programmes in their delegated approvals log on the GLA website. The latest quarterly published figures are available on gov.uk here.
In awarding contracts under the programme Homes England and the GLA assess the need for grant on a site-by-site basis. In agreeing how much grant a project requires they will take into account the costs for building out the site with how much grant is needed to make that project viable, and the overall value for money for the programme. The most recent publication, with data reflecting grant allocations by tenure and region, to the end of March 2023, can be found on gov.uk here.
