Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 28 February 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what assessment he has made of the likely effects of his proposals for the 2011-15 Affordable Homes Programme on the supply of (a) larger family accommodation comprising four bedrooms or more and (b) supported housing for the elderly and other vulnerable groups.
The number and type of affordable rent homes delivered will be dependent on agreements between providers and the Homes and Communities Agency, in consultation with local authorities.
We expect providers of affordable housing and local authorities to work closely to identify the type of provision that will most appropriately meet the locally identified needs.
The needs and aspirations of vulnerable and older people should be considered in the provision of general needs housing, as well as in specialist provision.
