Affordable Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what the target number of affordable homes provided through the 2021-26 Affordable Housing Programme is; and how many of those homes are (a) social rent, (b) affordable rent, (c) affordable home ownership, (d) supported housing and (e) rural housing across (i) England and (ii) London.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The Department published an update on targets in respect of the 2021-26 Affordable Homes Programme on 30 July 2024. It can be found on gov.uk here.
The Greater London Authority (GLA) has shared targets for the programme in London. These can be found on gov.uk here.
Homes England set out their target for the programme outside of London in their annual report and accounts. This can be found on gov.uk here.
As set out in my answer to Question UIN 16935 on 16 December 2024, the government will continue to work with Homes England and the GLA to support them to deliver a mix of homes for sub-market rent and home-ownership, with a particular focus on delivering homes for Social Rent.
