From 2015 the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and the Greater London Authority will work with housing providers to build 165,000 affordable homes over 3 years, potentially creating thousands of jobs. That would, they claim, be the fastest annual rate of building for at least 20 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The extra investment means that, including the HCA homes, the government will start construction of up to 200,000 new affordable homes in the 4 years from 2014-15. If all goes as planned, they would deliver more new build affordable homes than the previous government completed in any 4 year period \u00e2\u20ac\u201c despite the marked contrast in economic environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The allotted money includes funding for an Affordable \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcRent-to-Buy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 scheme, which will be launched with \u00c2\u00a3250m in 2015\/16 and \u00c2\u00a3150m in 2016\/17 aiming to support new affordable homes for rent and subsequent sale. The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) will be allowed to charge fees for its regulation services, which the Treasury said would strengthen its capacity to regulate an &#8220;increasingly diverse&#8221; sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The tenants occupying the new homes will enjoy a period of low rents, allowing them to save for a deposit. At the end of this period, the sitting tenant will get first option to buy the home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eric Pickles said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153In stark contrast to the years of inactivity under the last government, today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s deal will continue our progress on delivering thousands of new affordable family homes across the country.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We are determined to make the most of every single square inch of previously-used land available and accelerate the rate of housebuilding. Getting stalled sites up and running and speeding up the release of public land is crucial to this, and will ensure we build more homes where people need them.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our investment in new housing is the bold action that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s needed, and will go hand in hand with extra funding for local enterprise partnerships, so they can build on their success, create thousands of jobs and inject millions of pounds of investment into local economies.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The news came alongside announcements of rent levels over the next ten years for Social landlords. The deal sees an increase of CPI + 1% a year every year from 2015. This provides the sector with the longest period of certainty it has ever had, which they hope will stimulate investment and long-term development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mr Pickles said the funding from government was a good deal for the sector, levering in private investment to construct the new homes and building on the highly successful<\/span> Affordable Homes Programme, <span style=\"color: #000000;\">which is on track to deliver 170,000 homes by 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Other measures in today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Spending Review include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">-\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a3102 million to get stalled housing sites moving again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">-\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Steps to speed up the release of formerly-used public sector land.
