collated information from all the authorities that have applied for money from
the fund, which aims to build infrastructure to unlock the delivery of new
homes, and applied the MHCLG formula for geographical targeting. This formula
is intended to ensure that government funds go to the least affordable areas of
the country. Read more on Inside Housing.
