The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 12 February 2025 to Question 27567 on Affordable Housing: Construction, how many units of affordable housing are in Homes England’s Section 106 Affordable Housing Clearing Service.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

Since Homes England's Section 106 Affordable Housing Clearing Service was launched in December 2024, 411 organisations have registered. This includes 113 housebuilders, 184 Registered Providers of social housing and 114 Local Authorities. The number of affordable homes registered currently stands at 800.

The government continues to call on all developers with uncontracted Section 106 affordable homes, as well as registered providers and local planning authorities, to engage proactively with this new service.
