<p>Until the end of March 2020, when the funding period ended, the Community Housing
Fund was delivered outside London by Homes England (and its predecessor, the Homes
and Communities Agency). Data provided by Homes England in May indicated that it had
received applications for funding from projects anticipating the delivery of a total
of 10,780 homes, 4,347 of which from applications that have been approved. The overwhelming
majority of the funding requested was in the form of revenue grant to cover pre-development
costs. Organisations that are registered as providers of social housing may seek capital
funding from the Shared Ownership and Affordable Homes Programme operated outside
London by Homes England and, where appropriate, Homes England has been encouraging
them to do so. <br> <br> Within London, the Community Housing Fund is delivered by
the Greater London Authority (GLA) with £36 million grant awarded to it by MHCLG.
Data provided by the GLA in December indicates a current pipeline of up to 1,387 community-led
homes for which funding applications may be made to the GLA.</p>
