Question
What action is the Welsh Government taking to deliver more affordable homes?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning
We remain committed to delivering 20,000 homes for rent in the social sector this Senedd Term. To support this, we have allocated a further £330million for 2024/25 to support the delivery of vital homes through our Social Housing Grant Programme. This brings the total investment into Social Housing this term to over £1.2bn so far.
Whilst our focus is on building new homes, acquisitions are important in helping to meet the needs of our most vulnerable groups and in addition to our Social Housing Grant Programme we are continuing to take action and support the Transitional Accommodation Capital Programme to ensure the earlier availability of homes for those most in need.
