Strategic Partnerships for Affordable Homes

Homes England’s 31 new strategic partners will deliver almost 90,000 grant-funded affordable homes over the next five years.

Under the Affordable Homes Programme 2021-26, Homes England is committing almost £5.2 billion in affordable housing grants to 31 strategic partnerships with 35 organisations.

The strategic partners include a broader range of organisations than before, meaning four not-for-profit providers, including one developer, as well as a number of housing associations will get a share of the funding. Together, they will deliver almost 90,000 grant-funded affordable homes which are much needed throughout the country.

Peter Denton, Chief Executive Officer at Homes England, said: “These strategic partnerships give our new partners the funding, flexibility and confidence they need to build much needed affordable homes across the country; it also establishes a large network of organisations looking to share their skills and capabilities to expand the affordable housing sector and transform communities.

“By forming strategic partnerships with a wide range of public and private organisations, we are creating the conditions needed for institutional investment to catalyse affordable housing supply and in future give local authorities more of the tools they need to plan and act strategically, shaping their communities and building new homes.”

This strategic partnership funding is part of the broader £8.6 billion affordable homes funding announced by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
