Social Housing Expenditure - PWA

Lisa Nandy MP:
*Which 150 social housing developments are under review, broken down by local authority area?
*What housing developments funded through the National Affordable Housing Programme are to be cancelled, broken down by local authority area?
*What housing and local government projects are under review, broken down by local authority area?
Grant Shapps MP:
It is likely a number of housing projects will be affected by the need to find the £220 million savings to be made from the housing funding planned by the previous administration. To date, the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) has been holding back from making any new commitments in 2010-11 until the position on funding could be finalised. Now that the funding position has been confirmed, the HCA will fully review the impact of any changes on its investment programmes, and will then contact affected schemes to advise them. The HCA will also publish a list of the confirmed schemes. Throughout 2010-11, the agency will continue to publish on its website the quarterly regional investment statements, detailing all allocations to the National Affordable Housing Programme.
