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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to deliver 90,000 homes for social rent each year in order to assist with (1) the backlog of provision of affordable housing, and (2) homelessness, as part of their forthcoming Comprehensive Spending Review.

We have already announced an additional £2 billion of long term funding certainty for housing associations. This extra funding will deliver more affordable homes and stimulate the sector’s wider building ambitions, through strategic partnerships

Our ten year funding commitment through strategic partnerships marks the first time any government has invested such long-term funding in new homes through housing associations

We will seek to build on the progress that has been made on building new social homes as we approach this year’s Spending Review.
