HCA Fully Funds More Than 70% of Affordable Homes Bidders

More than 70% of the providers that bid for government grant funding under the latest affordable homes programme have been allocated the full amount they requested. The HCA allocated £900m of its £1.7bn pot to 164 providers in July, leaving £800m to be allocated throughout the life of the programme. Responding to a Freedom of Information Act request the HCA has now confirmed that, unlike previous programmes, 118 bidders received the full grant applied for. A further 46 providers that bid for a total of £549m were collectively refused £93m. There were no outright rejections. Read more on Inside Housing.
