<p>The Government is committed to increasing the supply of social housing and has
made £9 billion available through the Affordable Homes Programme to March 2022 to
deliver approximately 250,000 new affordable homes in a wide range of tenures, including
Social Rent. <br> <br> Wycombe has a total housing stock of over 73,000 homes (2018)
and almost 10,000 of these are affordable homes. Over 100 new affordable homes were
built in the area in 2018-19</p><p><br> To enable councils and housing associations
to build more we have increased the size of the Affordable Homes Programme, re-introduced
social rent, removed the HRA borrowing cap for local authorities, and have set out
a long-term rent deal for councils and housing associations in England from 2020.
