<p>The Government is investing over £9 billion in the Affordable Homes Programme 2016-21,
to support councils and housing associations to deliver genuinely affordable homes
where they are needed most.</p><p>We have confirmed long-term rent certainty for social
landlords in England and announced that we will be providing councils with £1 billion
of additional borrowing to deliver homes where demand is greatest. These measures,
and the additional Affordable Homes Programme funding, will support local authorities
to deliver a new generation of council house building.</p><p>The programme is flexible
and sets no ring-fences on particular forms of tenure, so providers can bid into the
programme to develop a wide range of homes to meet the housing needs of a range of
people in different circumstances and housing markets – building the right homes in
the right places.</p>
