Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what funding he has allocated to support the construction of new homes in the London Borough of Redbridge in each year since 2010.

The Government has agreed a major package of funding for London through the Affordable Homes Programme with the Greater London Authority. Programme spend is not ringfenced by local borough.

London will receive £4.8 billion through the Shared Ownership and Affordable Homes Programme 2016-23, to deliver at least 116,000 affordable housing starts by March 2023.

In addition, the GLA will receive £4 billion under the new Affordable Homes Programme 2021-26 to deliver a further 35,000 new affordable housing starts by March 2026.

Between 2010 and 2020, we have delivered over 508,000 new affordable homes, of which over 360,000 were for rent – London accounted for over one fifth of overall delivery in this period (108,000), with 74,000 for rent.
