Affordable housing is just like any other housing except that it is bought or rented at below market prices.
We work closely with housing developers, Housing Associations, landowners, Parish Councils, local communities, and funding agencies, such as the Homes England, to bring forward new affordable homes.
To help with this we have an Affordable Grants Policy. To quality you must be a registered provider of affordable housing or a community land trust.
