answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2021 answer text <p>The Charter for Social Housing Residents: Social Housing White Paper will improve the lives of social housing residents in England. The package of measures underpinning the Charter will provide faster and more effective redress for residents, ensure residents are empowered to engage effectively with landlords, strengthen consumer regulation, and improve the quality and safety of social housing. <br> <br> We have already made strong progress on implementation: we have launched a review of the Decent Homes Standard, a working group on electrical safety, and held a consultation on smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, three key aspects of our commitment to ensure safe and decent homes, as well as running a national campaign to raise resident awareness of how to seek redress. We are continuing to drive forward implementation across the full range of Charter measures. This includes drafting the legislation required to implement the new consumer regulation regime, which we will introduce as soon as practicable.</p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes grouped question UIN 15366 question first answered 21/06/2021 15:51:29 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2021 answer text <p>The Government is committed to increasing the supply of affordable housing and is investing over £12 billion in affordable housing over 5 years, the largest investment in affordable housing in a decade. This includes the new £11.5 billion Affordable Homes Programme, which will leverage up to £38 billion of private finance and will provide up to 180,000 new affordable homes across the country, should economic conditions allow.</p><p>Around half of the new programme will be for social and affordable rent, and it will deliver more than double for social rent than the current programme. 10% of delivery will be used to increase the supply of much needed specialist or supported housing, including housing for older people.</p><p>We will also be using the new Affordable Homes Programme to fund a First Homes pilot of 1500 homes. The First Homes scheme will help local first-time buyers onto the property ladder by offering homes at a discount of at least 30% compared to the market price. That same percentage will then be passed on with the sale of the property to future first-time buyers, meaning homes will always be sold below market value, benefiting future generations. On 4 June, we launched the first phase with further sites set to launch across the country in the coming weeks.</p><p>Whilst we do not set requirements for the types of affordable housing that are delivered, Registered Providers work closely with local authorities to ensure that delivery meets local housing need.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 15/06/2021 16:50:43 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
