<p>Our Housing White Paper sets out a long term and comprehensive strategy, with dozens
of proposals to release more land for homes where people want to live; build the homes
we need faster; get more people building homes; and support people who need help now.</p><p>Since
then, we have continued to take action to make our housing market work better, including:</p><ul><li><p>Planning
reforms to ensure more land is available for housing and maximise the potential of
our cities and towns to build new homes whilst protecting the Green Belt;</p></li><li><p>Launching
Homes England, bringing together money, expertise, planning and compulsory purchase
powers;</p></li><li><p>Lifting Housing Revenue Account borrowing caps so local authorities
can deliver a new generation of council housing;</p></li><li><p>More than £15 billion
of new financial support over the next five years, taking total financial support
to at least £44 billion to 2022/2023. This will boost the delivery of housing and
use funds flexibly to unblock the barriers to more housebuilding;</p></li><li><p>Publishing
a Green Paper which sets out a new deal for social housing in England;</p></li><li><p>Measures
to rebalance the relationship between tenants and landlords to deliver a fairer, good
quality and more affordable private rented sector;</p></li><li><p>And reforms to make
sure the leasehold system in England is fair and transparent to the consumer.</p></li></ul><p>Taken
together, our reforms put us on track to create, fund and drive a fairer housing market
that delivers 300,000 homes a year on average by the mid-2020s.</p>
