Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask His Majesty's Government what criteria are applied when deciding on Housing Infrastructure Fund allocations.

The Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) programme has not adopted a prescriptive definition of physical infrastructure. HIF projects cover a range of infrastructure such as transport and travel, utilities, schools, community and healthcare facilities, land assembly and site remediation, heritage infrastructure, digital communications, green infrastructure (such as parks) and blue infrastructure (such as flood defences and sustainable drainage systems).

HIF is a closed programme. Bids were assessed against criteria that can be found in the HIF prospectus.
