The government’s Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) is
benefiting Southern areas at the expense of the North of England. As a result
of a new formula applied to the funding that channels money more towards areas
of ‘high affordability’, Northern local authorities have access to a far
smaller pot when compared with Southern authorities. Inside Housing has
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.
