	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2019 answer text <p>We have noted the report by Shelter’s Commissioners and the contribution this has made to the wider conversation around social housing. Our Social Housing Green Paper set out our aims to rebalance the relationship between residents and landlords, tackle stigma and ensure social housing can be both a safety net and a springboard to home ownership.</p><p>We are committed to increasing the supply of social housing and have invested over £9 billion into our Affordable Homes Programme to deliver 250,000 affordable homes by 2022, including at least 12,500 for social rent outside of London. A further £2 billion of long term funding has already been committed beyond that as part of a ten year home building programme through to 2028. We’re also giving councils extra freedom to build the social homes their communities need and expect. Housing Associations and Local Authorities now need to accelerate delivery and build more affordable homes.</p><p>The consultation on our Green Paper, ‘A new deal for social housing’, closed on 6 November 2018. We are currently analysing responses, along with feedback from the engagement events which we held with social housing residents.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 11/02/2019 16:59:15 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2019 answer text <p>Since 2010 there have been changes to the financing and functions of local government, and therefore spending power, the measure of funding available to local authorities, is not directly comparable over this period.</p><p>Prior to 2013-14, Formula Grant was non-ring fenced money for local government services. It was funded by central government grant and redistributed business rates. From 2013-14, Settlement Funding Assessment became the way central government provided local authorities with non-ring fenced funding for local government services.</p><p>Councils will have had access to over £200 billion over the five-year period 2015-16 to 2019-20, and funding for local government will increase in real-terms next year.</p><p>As democratically elected organisations, local authorities are independent of central government and are responsible for managing their budgets in line with local priorities. However, the Government expects local authorities to meet the challenge of making savings, while continuing to provide excellent services to local communities. It is for local authorities to conduct their own impact assessments of local decisions on residents, including vulnerable adults and children.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 11/02/2019 16:42:57 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
