Delivering Homes. Building Communities

The Government has introduced a new housing plan called 'Delivering Homes, Building Communities', which aims to speed up the delivery of new homes and tackle homelessness.

Delivering Homes, Building Communities is a wide ranging strategy, encompassing two pillars: Activating Supply and Supporting People. 

Pillar 1 focuses on activating the supply of 300,000 homes. This will be achieved through activating more land, providing more housing-related infrastructure, securing more development finance for home building, addressing viability challenges particularly those seen in apartment delivery, increasing the adoption of Modern Methods of Construction, increasing the skills in the residential construction sector and working toward ending dereliction and vacancy. 

Pillar 2 details how Government will support people. It sets out a series of key actions that work towards ending homelessness, support affordability and address the housing needs of people as they progress through life. In partnership with local authorities, the LDA and AHBs, the Plan will address the needs of the most vulnerable in our communities, make buying and renting homes more affordable and support the development of villages, towns and cities across the country.
