Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 25 January 2018.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate his Department has made of the number of organisations that will miss the deadline for the completion of grant-funded homes under the Affordable Homes Programme 2015 to 2018; and what estimate he has made of the number of homes that will not be completed under that same programme's deadline.
The Affordable Homes Programme is delivered through the Greater London Authority for London and by Homes England outside of London.
The contractual date for completion of affordable homes in the Affordable Homes Programme 2015-18 is 31 March 2018. With the introduction of the 2016-21 programme part way through this programme the deadline was incorporated into the 2016-21 programme.
The programme will contain a proportion of homes due to be completed at later dates, where there has been valid delay to the build programme. Where such instances arise each request is individually assessed before a later forecast build completion date is accepted, reducing the possibilities of an organisation missing the deadline.
It is not possible to give a nationwide figure for the number of homes that will not be completed under the programme's deadline as this would pre-empt the publication of the national statistics.
