THE Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) has committed £22 million in the first quarter of this year to deliver affordable homes in the North West, resulting in the completion of nearly 600 new homes and the start on site of many
more.
This builds on last year’s record investment of £194.5m, which went towards completing 3,256 vitally-needed new homes and starting a further 3,243.
Deborah McLaughlin, regional director of the HCA, said: “Last year’s record was a fantastic achievement, to be able to provide so many new homes in the current economic climate has made a real difference so many communities in our region. We are aiming to exceed it significantly this year and it’s even more important that we work closely with partners and local authorities to ensure we do.”
Funding comes from the HCA’s National Affordable Housing Programme (NAHP), which is providing high quality affordable homes in sustainable communities.
