To ensure that renewal is felt in people\u2019s everyday lives, their jobs, their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This affordable housing boost is expected to be a big contributor to reaching the 1.5m new homes target, with the allowance being boosted from \u00a311.8bn to \u00a339bn.<\/p>\n<p>This will also help housing associations to buy currently abandoned private houses.<\/p>\n<h3>A welcome move in the industry<\/h3>\n<p>On Monday, a letter was sent to Matthew Pennycook MP, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/what-to-expect-in-the-october-budget\/145069\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">calling for more development of the Affordable Homes Programme.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The letter calls for more measures to be taken in the programme, including long term rent settlements.<\/p>\n<p>The signatories of this letter, including BusinessLDN, Landsec, and Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing, will likely be pleased with the upcoming announcement of increasing the cap on social rents and allowing opportunities both for rents to catch up to higher rents, but also fund improvements to existing housing stock and deliver new homes.<\/p>\n<p>Just two months ago, another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/chancellor-announces-2bn-social-housing-investment\/149808\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">affordable housing boost was announced in a \u00a32bn cash<\/a> injection under the Plan for Change, covering up to 18,000 new homes.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, chancellor of the exchequer, Rachel Reeves, said: \u201cWe are fixing the housing crisis in this country with the biggest boost in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation. Today\u2019s announcement will help drive growth through our Plan for Change by delivering up to 18,000 new homes, as well as jobs and opportunities, getting more money into working people\u2019s pockets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deputy prime minister and housing secretary, Angela Rayner, said: \u201cEveryone deserves to have a safe and secure roof over their heads and a place to call their own, but the reality is that far too many people have been frozen out of homeownership or denied the chance\u00a0to rent a home they can afford thanks to the housing crisis we\u2019ve inherited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis investment will help us to build thousands more affordable homes to buy and rent and get working people and families into secure homes and onto the housing ladder. This is just the latest in delivering our Plan for Change mission to build 1.5m homes, and the biggest increase in social and affordable housing in a generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Details have been confirmed ahead of the spending review with an affordable housing boost and a rise to the social rent cap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":152159,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[666,908,276,570],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-152158","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-affordable-housing","9":"tag-economy","10":"tag-government","11":"tag-social-housing"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Rachel Reeves to announce affordable housing boost in spending review<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Details have been confirmed ahead of the spending review with an affordable housing boost and a rise to the social rent cap\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/rachel-reeves-announce-affordable-housing-boost-spending-review\/152158\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Rachel Reeves to announce affordable housing boost in spending review\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Details have been confirmed ahead of the spending review with an affordable housing boost and a rise to the social rent cap\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/rachel-reeves-announce-affordable-housing-boost-spending-review\/152158\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
