The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what was the total amount of central government funding given to the Vistry Group in (a) 2024-25 and (b) 2025-26.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
In relation to Homes England’s 2021-26 Affordable Homes Programme, Vistry has successfully delivered against the milestones in their delivery plan. The delivery plan is not published and there are no plans currently to publish this.
The Department and Homes England hold information on the following funding provided through the Affordable Homes Programme 2021-26 and the Home Building Fund.
The total amount of grant funding paid by Homes England to Vistry under the 2021-26 Affordable Homes Programme in each of the financial years requested was £54,636,334 for 2024-5 and £65,925,098 for 2025-6.
In addition, 2025-26 also saw Homes England enter into a Joint Venture with Vistry through the Home Building Fund, with Homes England committing c. £60m, of which c. £18.4m was drawn down in 2025-26.
Grant agreements with individual partners are not published because they contain commercially sensitive information. Homes England does, however, publish example grant agreements, which can be found on gov.uk here.
In London, the Greater London Authority publishes a delegated approvals log which shows allocations approved for housing providers, which can be found on gov.uk here.
