New £1bn Funding Package For Housing Launched

A £1bn housing delivery fund, the ‘New Communities Partnership’, has been launched to help the public sector build 10,000 new homes across the UK over the next 4 to 5 years. This initiative brings together Kier Living, The Cheyne Social Property Impact Fund  and The Housing Growth Partnership. The partnership will provide local authorities and housing associations with an innovative delivery model for building new homes on their own land, giving them the option to choose between sale and/or rental developments, and offers significant scope for affordable development. Public sector organisations will be able to determine the appropriate mix of tenure for their site, including rental homes and homes for sale, in a model designed to meet the needs of their specific communities, without the need for grant funding.
