answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>This Government's priorities are to boost housing supply and to build more affordable homes, supporting the different needs of a wide range of people. The Government is committed to increasing the supply of affordable housing and has made £9 billion available through the Affordable Homes Programme to March 2022 to deliver 250,000 new affordable homes of a wide range of tenures, including social rent. Since 2010 we have delivered over 378,000 new affordable homes, including over 273,000 affordable homes for rent.</p><p>We have not directly carried out an assessment in response to the claim made by the Centre for Social Justice. However, new affordable housing reduces pressure on the Housing Benefit bill by enabling people to live in sub-market rent homes which, on average, have lower associated housing benefit costs than the Local housing Allowance on an equivalent home in the private rented sector.</p><p>We have listened to the housing sector. We have increased the size of the Affordable Homes Programme, re-introduced social rent, lifted the Housing Revenue Account borrowing cap for local authorities, and are setting a long term rent deal for councils and housing associations in England from 2020. Housing associations and local authorities now need to accelerate delivery and build more affordable homes.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 08/11/2018 13:25:39 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
