The provision of affordable housing is a key element of the Government’s plan to end the housing crisis, tackle homelessness and provide aspiring homeowners with a step onto the housing ladder.

Our £11.5 billion Affordable Homes Programme (AHP) will provide up to 180,000 new homes across the country, should economic conditions allow.

Around half the homes will be for affordable and social rent and we will deliver more than double the amount of social rent compared to the previous programme, with around 32,000 social rent homes due to be delivered.
