Since 2010 we have delivered 270,000 affordable homes, including nearly 200,000 homes for rent.

The majority of rented homes delivered through the Affordable Homes Programme are for Affordable Rent, delivering more homes for every pound of Government investment.

The Spending Review committed £1.7 billion to deliver 100,000 affordable rented homes.
