Affordable Housing: Travellers
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what amount and proportion of the new Affordable Housing Programme will be allocated to providing traveller sites.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
Allocations under the Social and Affordable Homes Programme (SAHP) will be subject to the bids received.
Proposals for Traveller Pitches will be assessed against the SAHP assessment criteria: value for money, deliverability and strategic fit.
The specific funding requirements for Traveller Pitches are set out in documents published by Homes England including the Capital Funding Guide for bids outside of London and documents published by the Greater London Authority including the Capital Funding Guide for bids in London.
