The Affordable Homes Programme 2021-2026

The Affordable Homes Programme 2021-2026 has been unveiled.

Affordable housing, as defined by the National Planning Policy Framework, is housing for sale or rent for those whose needs are not met by the market. 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.

The Affordable Homes Programme provides grant funding to support the capital costs of developing affordable housing for rent or sale. As the Government’s housing accelerator, Homes England will be making available £7.39 billion from April 2021 to deliver up to 130,000 affordable homes by March 2026 – outside of London. Partners looking to develop affordable housing in London can find more information on the Greater London Authority’s website.
