<p>The Government introduced Rent to Buy to support aspiring tenants on low to middle
income into home ownership, enabling them to save for a deposit.</p><p>Funding for
Rent to Buy is available from our Affordable Homes Programme 2016-21, which supports
the delivery of a wide range of affordable homes with over £9 billion. As set out
at Autumn Statement 2016, the programme is fully flexible and sets no ringfences on
particular forms of tenure. We encourage providers to ensure that their schemes take
account of the affordable housing needs in the local areas – to ensure that we build
the right homes in the right places.</p>
