Targets for affordable housing delivery over the next four years, and a planned approach to contribute to economic growth and meet local priorities have been set out by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). The HCA’s Corporate Plan 2011-15 details how the national housing and regeneration agency will use its £8bn of capital funding to deliver nearly 160,000 new affordable homes, around 95% of the Government’s aspiration for 170,000, by 2015. A further 127,000 homes will be brought up to the Decent Homes Standard, while 18,500 homes for market sale will also be completed. The Agency’s enabling offer is captured for the first time, detailing how the organisation’s skills and expertise can be used as resource by Local Authorities and Local Enterprise Partnerships, to add value to available public investment, with a strong focus on bringing forward more land for development more quickly.
