Council Housebuilding Support Fund
Help for councils delivering affordable homes with new support through the Affordable Homes Programme 2026 to 2033.
The Council Housebuilding Support Fund is designed to provide support for councils looking to:
- increase the number of homes they directly deliver
- establish and expand delivery partnerships and joint ventures with registered providers or developers
- develop and expand their wider pipeline of development opportunities
£5.5 million in revenue funding is available until 31 March 2026.
The funding will support councils looking to build capacity and capability to submit new, ambitious bids for grant funding from the Affordable Homes Programme from 2026 onwards.
The aim is to enable councils to submit bids more quickly and at bigger scale.
