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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much funding has been allocated under the Shared Ownership and Affordable Homes Programme 2016 to 2021 to date in each (a) region and (b) local authority area.

The Government is committed to increasing the supply of social housing and has made £9 billion available through the Affordable Homes Programme to March 2022 to deliver approximately 250,000 new affordable homes in a wide range of tenures, including Social Rent.

The programme is delivered by our partners Homes England and the Greater London Authority (GLA), with £4.7 billion allocated to Homes England and £4.8 billion to the GLA.

The way in which Homes England and the GLA allocate this funding across the country is publicly available. To view the further allocations across England regions and local authorities please see the following:
