Affordable Homes Programme Set To Exceed Expectations

Grant Shapps has hailed the progress of Government plans to build thousands of new affordable homes over the next four years. Ministers have revealed that their original aspiration to deliver 150,000 new homes by 2015 will not only be met, but exceeded. Appetite for the Affordable Homes Programme has surpassed expectations, with 146 providers sharing almost £1.8 billion to build 80,000 homes under the programme - putting the Government on track to deliver up to 170,000 new homes by 2015, and safeguarding some 80,000 jobs in construction and related trades.
