Social Rented Housing: Construction
Friday 11th November 2022

Asked by: Ian Levy (Conservative - Blyth Valley)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to increase the level of government support for the building of social rent housing.

Answered by Lucy Frazer

The provision of affordable housing is part of the Government's plan to build more homes and provide aspiring homeowners with a step onto the housing ladder. Our Affordable Homes Programme will deliver thousands of affordable homes for both rent and to buy right across the country. The Levelling Up White Paper committed to increasing the supply of social rented homes.

Since 2010, we have delivered over 598,900 new affordable homes, including over 419,200 affordable homes for rent, of which over 157,200 homes are for social rent.
