Homes England events create valuable connections that accelerate housebuilding and regeneration goals. Support is available if your development project is facing challenges or blockers. To speak to us about homebuilding and regeneration solutions, email [email protected].

Investment and Grants

We have a number of key funds, including the:听

• Affordable Homes Programme that provides grant funding to affordable housing providers to provide social and affordable rented, supported accommodation and shared ownership homes.听
• Home Building Fund that provides development loans to small and medium housebuilders struggling to access finance from traditional routes. Funding from the Home Building Fund can also be deployed to support more complex funding arrangements, such as balance sheet loans to regional housebuilders, equity investment in joint ventures and lending alliances with banks or other funders.听
• Brownfield, Infrastructure and Land Fund that is one of our most flexible funds, with the primary objective of bringing forward strategic sites and housing-led opportunities that will support economic growth and long-term housing supply.听
• Cladding Safety Scheme that provides funding to remediate buildings in England that are between 11 and 18 metres with dangerous cladding.听

If you鈥檙e looking for a site to develop, whether for residential or commercial purposes 鈥� take a look at our Land Hub, an interactive map that features sites we intend to sell within the next 6 months. This guide provides more information on how we sell land for housing-led developments.听

We can also acquire and develop land that requires complex and significant investment prior to commercial development. For more information on this, get in touch via [email protected]. 听听

Place-based and partnership working听

Homes England has a range of partnerships and equity investments in place with delivery partners and investors to support increased delivery across the sector. One of our great successes in recent years has been our ability to embrace the strengths of the residential real estate sector to help us deliver. As part of our new Strategic Plan, we are extending this to the commercial real estate sector and are encouraging those partners to work with on to transform places into vibrant communities. Examples of our partnership work to date include the English Cities Fund; 听the Greener Homes Alliance; and the Housing Growth Partnership.听

Our five-year has a clear focus on place, and while we鈥檒l continue to help deliver the high quality, affordable homes people need, we will also work with partners to support the creation, development, and continued wellbeing of communities in England. 听听

When it comes to place-making, our role is to support and enable local authorities and other stakeholders to achieve their vision for their area. We will work with local leaders to understand their housing and regeneration priorities and challenges, and we will use our capacity and capability to coordinate practical packages of support.听

While we鈥檒l prioritise our most intense efforts on transformative projects that will have a catalytic effect on wellbeing and prosperity, where there is strong local leadership and a clear vision and opportunity for delivery, we will continue to offer broad support across England through our wider offers and interventions.听

Supporting best practice听

Across all our funds and interventions, we will use our position and influence to promote, encourage and develop best practice in the industry. As our strategic plan outlines, we are committed to:听

• promoting sustainable practices and good design听
• minimising the environmental impact of development, and maximising its positive contribution听
• supporting the use of modern methods of construction听
• raising building safety standards and expectations听

Our Local Government Capacity Centre develops accessible offers for local government and their partners to increase capacity and skills. This includes the learning programmes we run for housing and regeneration professionals in local government which run every six months, keep an eye on our social channels for details of our next Winter Learning Programme.听

We are also undertaking a comprehensive programme of research aimed at strengthening our approach to economic appraisal and the measurement of social value. We have now published the first paper as part of this research programme, which measures the placemaking impacts of housing-led regeneration.
