Homes England<\/a> is seeking strategic partners to deliver affordable housing at scale; organisations interested in applying now have until 18 May to submit their proposal online<\/h2>\n

Strategic partnerships are one of two routes to access grant funding from Homes England through the government\u2019s Affordable Homes Programme<\/a> (2021-2026).<\/p>\n

While strategic partnerships have historically only been available to not-for-profit providers, this time Homes England is welcoming proposals from for-profit affordable housing providers and developers, and local authorities.<\/p>\n

Rather than access funding on a scheme-by-scheme basis, strategic partners enter into a multi-year grant agreement with Homes England to deliver affordable housing.<\/p>\n

Strategic partnerships play a pivotal role in Homes England\u2019s mission to use everything at its disposal to intervene in the market to\u00a0make homes happen.<\/p>\n

Partners can benefit from the certainty of affordable homes<\/a> grant funding for the duration of the deal, with greater flexibility to deliver and bespoke access to the agency\u2019s land and investment capabilities.<\/p>\n

Strategic partners need to demonstrate how they are supporting Homes England\u2019s strategic objectives within their development programme.<\/p>\n

This includes the adoption of modern methods of construction<\/a> (MMC), a dedication to high-quality sustainable design and a commitment to working closely with SMEs.<\/p>\n

Increasing the supply of affordable homes<\/h3>\n

Gordon More, interim chief executive Homes England said: \u201cOur strategic partnership model is about working with ambitious organisations to maximise successful delivery through Government funding and use of our wider resources so we can increase innovation, diversify the sector and increase the supply of much needed affordable homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding on the successes of our existing strategic partnerships, we\u2019re welcoming bids from a broader set of partners that are as committed as we are to design quality and modernisation.\u201d<\/p>\n
