£7 billion unlocked in expansion of<br />

the government’s affordable housing<br />

programme to meet the diverse<br />

housing needs of the country.<br />

Communities Secretary Sajid Javid has today<br />

(5 January 2017) unlocked £7 billion in a<br />

dramatic expansion of the government’s<br />

affordable housing programme to meet the<br />

diverse housing needs of the country.<br />

Housing providers can now apply for a share of<br />

the fund, which was allocated an additional £1.4<br />

billion at the Autumn Statement to deliver 40,000<br />

13<br />

new affordable housing starts across the<br />

country.<br />

Alongside this extra funding, the government<br />

is expanding the existing affordable<br />

homes programme to offer a wider range<br />

of ways of helping people into home ownership<br />

and to provide support for those<br />

that need affordable housing.
