Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many new build council and housing association homes were (1) completed, and (2) occupied between 6 May 2010 and 7 May 2015 with funding approved before 6 May 2010.
Since 2010, we have delivered over 378,000 new affordable homes, including over 273,000 affordable homes for rent.
Between 6 May 2010 and 7 May 2015, 98,700 affordable homes were completed with programme funding approved before 6 May 2010. This is across Housing Associations, Local Authorities and Non-Registered Providers. We do not have data on occupation.
Affordable housing remains the Government’s priority. That’s why we increased the Affordable Homes Programme budget to over £9 billion to deliver a wide range of affordable housing, including social rent homes
The Affordable Homes Programme will now build over 250,000 homes by March 2022.
