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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he plans to use the successor scheme to the New Homes Bonus to incentivise the provision of specialist housing with care for older people; and if he will make a statement.

In December 2018, Government announced the 2019-20 New Homes Bonus allocations due to be paid over next 4 years. Consideration about the overall quantum of funding available to the local government sector will be a matter for the next spending review, but Government remains fully committed to incentivising housing growth to benefit everyone and will consult widely with local authorities on how best to reward delivery most effectively.
