Social and Affordable Homes Programme
(asked on 7th September 2026) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether non-mayoral authorities will receive funding from the Social and Affordable Homes Programme.
Answered by
Baroness Taylor of Stevenage
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
In August 2026, the government announced the initial Strategic Partnership funding allocations for the Social and Affordable Homes Programme (SAHP).
Across England (excluding London), 33 providers will receive funding totalling £9.58 billion to invest in new social and affordable housing and deliver 73,600 homes. These 33 providers included PRPs and councils. No funding has been allocated directly to Mayoral Strategic Authorities (MSA), and whether an area has an MSA was not a factor in decision making.
Established Mayoral Strategic Authority (EMSA) areas outside London are able to set the strategic direction of the Programme in their areas. To support this, we have published an estimate of how many homes and how much funding providers expect to deliver in each of the initial six EMSA areas.
