<p>The annual £60 million Community Housing Fund was launched on 23 December 2016
to put local groups who know their area’s needs best in the driving seat and help
them deliver housing that is affordable to the local community. For the 2016/17 financial
year, grants were awarded to 148 local authorities which were particularly affected
by local affordability issues or high rates of second home ownership. My officials
have been working up proposals for the delivery of the Fund from 2017/18 and an announcement
will be made in due course.</p>
