Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the impact of the Community Ownership Fund on community cohesion.
Each application we receive to the fund is assessed against its potential for community benefit and how this will be sustained through community ownership.
Each of the 22 bids funded so far will be closely monitored to assess their impact on community cohesion. My department will run a full evaluation of the four-year programme.
