The Affordable Homes Programme (AHP) is committed to promoting Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), and provides incentives for the market to expand its use without compromising the number of homes we deliver.

In August 2021 we announced allocations for Strategic Partnerships worth £8.6 billion to deliver 119,000 affordable homes. Through these allocations we have achieved our target of 25% of delivery through MMC.

The Government is working with its delivery agencies to confirm the 2021 - 26 Programme's capacity to deliver as part of a review of programme commitments in light of economic challenges faced by providers. This is due to complete in Spring 2023.

There are no current plans to revise this target as part of the AHP 21-26.
