Only 44% of homes delivered through central government
funding programmes in England were for affordable or social rent last year, the
lowest figure since current records began. Statistics released by Homes England
show that in 2017/18, the government funded 17,159 affordable rent homes and
1,409 socially rented properties – a 19.5% decrease on the figure for the year
before. This comprised 44% of the total of 42,652 homes given direct financial
funding through Homes England programmes – the lowest percentage in the current
run of statistics which date back to 2009/10. Read more on Inside Housing.
