<p>The UK has a long and proud history of welcoming migrants including recent arrivals
from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria and Hong Kong. All conflict and threat situations
are unique and require unique and tailored responses, including different levels of
required housing support and different means of providing this.</p><p>We are actively
exploring options to provide suitable settled homes for refugees in housing need,
which support their integration and access to education and employment.</p><p>In the
longer-term, the provision of affordable housing is a key element of the Government's
plan to end the housing crisis, tackle homelessness and provide aspiring homeowners
with a step onto the housing ladder. Our £11.5 billion Affordable Homes Programme
(AHP) will provide up to 180,000 new homes across the country, should economic conditions
allow. Around half the homes will be for affordable and social rent and we will deliver
more than double the amount of social rent compared to the current programme, with
around 32,000 social rent homes due to be delivered.</p>
