Social Rented Housing: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate she has made of the amount of capital (a) grant and (b) subsidy to build a new social rent dwelling.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made on 2 July (HCWS771).
In awarding contracts under the new Social and Affordable Homes Programme, Homes England and the GLA will assess the need for grant on the basis of bids from social housing providers, including local authorities, considering what is needed to make projects viable, and the overall value for money for the programme.
