	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2018 answer text <p>The Community Housing Fund is currently scheduled to close in March 2020, at the end of the current Spending Review period. While the Homes England programme to deliver the Fund outside London was launched relatively recently, I hope that there is still sufficient time for community-led schemes to access funding and deliver housing, although I appreciate that this will be more difficult for very new schemes. All proposals to extend the scheme beyond March 2020 will be given due consideration. Factors that will need to be taken into account in considering any extension are likely to include the value for money being achieved by the Fund and the extent to which it has been successful in increasing the number of community-led housing schemes either completed or in progress.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 22/10/2018 14:18:44 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
