answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>We have not estimated the number of homes that would be built on a local authority basis, following the abolition of the Housing Revenue Account borrowing cap. We estimate that nationally, local authority delivery will increase to around 10,000 homes per year. Local authorities in South Yorkshire, and elsewhere, are able to use their new borrowing freedom to start building new homes to meet the needs of their communities immediately. We want to see them seize this opportunity and build a new generation of council housing.</p><p>In respect of the additional £2 billion of grant funding for Affordable Housing from 2022 to 2029, it is not possible to determine the distribution across regions until bids have been approved. Homes England do publish allocations data on the current 2016-2022 Affordable Homes Programme outside of London. As of March 2018, 1,361 affordable homes have been allocated grant funding in South Yorkshire.</p><p>Local authorities in South Yorkshire were successful in securing £5.8 million of Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) Marginal Viability Funding, which will unlock up to 730 homes. The final funding amounts are subject to a funding clarification process that is currently underway. We are currently working with Sheffield City Regions Combined Authority to develop their HIF Forward Funding bid. We cannot say if this funding will support homes in South Yorkshire until their bid is submitted in the coming months.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 12/11/2018 17:14:42 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2018 answer text <p>The short-term supported housing funding model will ensure that the housing costs for people living in refuges and other forms of short-term supported housing will be met by a grant fund administered by local authorities.</p><p>The same amount of funding as would have been available through Housing Benefit in 2020/21 will be made available as grant instead, and will directly fund bed spaces. The overall grant fund, including funding for refuges, will be ring-fenced indefinitely. Everyone who would be eligible under the current system to have their housing costs met by housing benefit will continue to have their housing costs met through the short-term funding model and no refuge should worry about closing or have any doubts over our commitment to ensure a sustainable funding model for them.</p><p>We are continuing to listen to the sector and are considering feedback through the recent consultation which closed on 23 January, and includes sector comments on the effect of the model on the number of and services women’s refuges in England. In addition, we are undertaking a thorough review of the commissioning and funding of all Domestic Abuse services in England and will be working closely with the domestic abuse sector, drawing on their knowledge and expertise, to make sure we get this right.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 26/03/2018 12:24:33 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
