The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether Gypsy and Traveller sites will be included in the next round of Social and Affordable Homes Programme funding.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

Traveller sites fall within the scope of the new Social and Affordable Homes Programme, and we welcome bids to deliver new sites. It is our intention to publish a full prospectus for the Programme in autumn 2025 and open it for bids in the winter.
