The grant funding provided by the partnership has enabled the organisation to plan for the future with greater certainty.
In its first year as a strategic partner, the group, which owns and manages more than 23,000 homes across the Midlands and East of England, invested £81million to deliver 568 new homes and started work on a further 432.
Rob Griffiths, Deputy Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, said: “The strategic partnership has enabled us to plan our programme with greater certainty over a longer period.
“It has given us more freedom to work up new land-led opportunities for affordable homes, safe in the knowledge that the grant funding is in place. This is particularly important for more complex land-led schemes that take some time to get through planning and ultimately through to delivery.

About the Affordable Homes Programme 2021 to 2026
Affordable housing, as defined by the National Planning Policy Framework, is housing for sale or rent for those whose needs are not met by the market. 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.
