A scheme to help get more families across England into
affordable homes has been extended by a year, Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick
has announced. Following unavoidable delays in the construction industry due to
coronavirus, it is estimated that the building of 53,000 new affordable homes
have stalled. The government is stepping in to safeguard funding and make sure
these much-needed homes are not lost altogether, extending the current
Affordable Homes Programme until March 2023. Homes to be built under the
government’s £9 billion scheme originally needed shovels to be in the ground by
March 2022. However the announcement means that housing associations and
councils have a year longer to begin building these homes while still receiving
government support. Read more on the Gov UK website.
