PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Affordable Housing: North West (4 February 2019)

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the press statement entitled, Brokenshire unveils £500 million affordable homes funding boost, published in January 2019, how many of the 11,000 homes will be built in (a) the North West (b) the Liverpool City Region and (c) Wallasey constituency.

Asked by:
Dame Angela Eagle (Labour)

On 31 January, we announced a further eight Strategic Partnerships between Homes England and housing associations which will deliver an additional 11,676 affordable homes for £496.7 million of grant.

This takes our total to 23 Strategic Partnerships, which will deliver almost 40,000 additional affordable housing starts by March 2022.

In total, just over 6,000 affordable homes will be delivered across the North West through Strategic Partnerships. Given the flexibility on delivery we provide Strategic Partners, we are not able to break these down below regional areas.

All funding for Strategic Partnerships is from our £9 billion Affordable Homes Programme.
