Analysis of government figures by the CIH shows projected
government investment through to 2020/21 will funnel £32bn into private
programmes and £8bn into programmes for shared ownership and sub-market rent.
The largest investment in private housing is the £12.5bn bill for the Help to

This investment is in the form of loans and guaranteed debt, rather than direct
government spending. Its investment in affordable housing comprises mainly
£4.3bn of grant under the Affordable Homes Programme. Read more on Inside
