Affordable Housing: Finance

Asked by Neil Duncan-JordanLabourMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 17 June 2025UIN 59237

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Spending Review 2025, published on 11 June 2025, what proportion of the funding announced for affordable and social housing will go to social housing; and what the Government's target is for social housing annually in the next five years.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The new investment to succeed the 2021-26 Affordable Homes Programme that was announced at the Spending Review will deliver a mix of homes for sub-market rent and homeownership, with a particular focus on delivering homes for social rent. We will confirm further details in due course.

The government has not set an affordable housing target to date, but we continue to keep the matter under review.
