<p> </p><p>Statistics on house building completions by tenure in each local authority
district are published in the Department's live tables 253 (annual) and 253a (quarterly),
which are available at the following link:</p><p><a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-house-building"
target="_blank">http://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-house-building</a></p><p>Taken
together, the Private Registered Provider (housing association) and local authority
tenures provide estimates of total social housing completions, but these figures understate
total affordable supply. This is because the house building figures are categorised
by the type of developer rather than the intended final tenure, leading to under recording
of affordable housing, and a corresponding over recording of private enterprise figures.</p><p>More
comprehensive statistics on affordable housing completions funded by the Homes and
Communities Agency since 2009-10 by local authority district are available at the
following link:</p><p><a href="http://www.homesandcommunities.co.uk/housing-statistics"
target="_blank">http://www.homesandcommunities.co.uk/housing-statistics</a></p><p>These
statistics include both newly built housing and acquisitions but exclude delivery
of affordable housing not funded by Homes and Communities Agency programmes that are
reported in local authority returns to the Department. A fuller picture of all affordable
housing completions is published in the Department's live tables 1006, 1006a, 1007
and 1008, which are available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-affordable-housing-supply"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-affordable-housing-supply</a></p><p>There
is no data source that provides information on affordable homes delivery at any geography
smaller than local authority district.</p><p>Over 170,000 new affordable homes have
been delivered in England since April 2010 (to the end of September 2013). Our Affordable
Homes Programme will lever in £19.5 billion of public and private investment over
the current spending review period. Over 2015-18, we will be investing a further £23
billion in public and private funding for affordable housing.</p><p> </p><p><strong>
