answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/09/2017 answer text <p>The number of empty homes is at its lowest since records began in 2004. In May 2010 over 300,000 homes in England had been standing empty for longer than 6 months. As of October 2016 the number of long-term empty properties had fallen to 200,145. Local authorities have powers and strong incentives to tackle empty homes. Through the New Homes Bonus they earn the same financial reward for bringing an empty home back into use as building a new one. Councils may also charge up to 150 per cent council tax for homes empty for over two years.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 25/09/2017 11:21:25 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma previous answer version 11891 answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/09/2017 answer text <p>We want to explore how local authorities can build high quality sustainable communities.

We are making good progress and will announce further details in due course.</p><p>We are clear that boosting affordable housing supply is a Government priority. To support this, at Autumn Statement 2016 we announced an £1.4 billion expansion of the Shared Ownership and Affordable Homes Programme (SOAHP) 2016-21 which increased the overall budget to £7.1 billion. So far we have delivered nearly 333,000 new affordable homes since 2010, including 240,000 affordable homes for rent.</p><p>As the Secretary of State announced on 19 September, we will bring forward a Green Paper on social housing in England. This will be a wide-ranging, top-to-bottom review of the issues facing the sector, including quality and safety, tenant rights and voice, and wider issues of place, community and the local economy.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 25/09/2017 11:07:31 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
