The number of new homes started by housing associations
rose 13% to almost 48,000 in the last financial year, figures on the sector’s
output reveal. Data released by the National Housing Federation (NHF) shows
associations started 47,709 homes of all tenures and completed 38,082 in the
year to April 2017. The NHF started surveying its members last year to gain a
“complete picture” of the sector’s development output, due to “long-standing
problems” with the official government figures. The figures are based on
responses from 82% of developing housing associations. The number of
completions dipped 5% in the year, representing the slowdown in development
starts 18 months ago following the surprise four-year rent cut. Read the full
briefing on the NHF website.
