Affordable Housing: Disability
Asked by: Alex Sobel (Labour (Co-op) - Leeds Central and Headingley) Monday 20th July 2026 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if the Department can provide a list of the housing associations that are participating in the Home Ownership for people with Long-term Disabilities scheme. Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The Home Ownership for People with Long-term Disabilities (HOLD) scheme is a specialist form of Shared Ownership. The government has confirmed that HOLD will continue to be funded through the Social and Affordable Homes Programme (SAHP) where proposals meet programme requirements and deliver value for money.
To support housing association participation in the scheme, my Department, in collaboration with Homes England, has published guidance on HOLD eligibility and delivery, which can be found on gov.uk here.
Information on landlords currently offering HOLD homes can be found using a search tool on gov.uk here.
The steps taken to support participation in HOLD, including programme funding and published guidance, apply across England, including in Leeds. |
