Following the publication of the government’s 5-step plan, Delivering a decade of renewal for social and affordable housing, on 2 July 2025, we are now launching the details of the new £39 billion Social and Affordable Homes Programme 2026 to 2036. The new Social and Affordable Homes Programme is intended to combine the best elements of previous programmes with new design elements to maximise delivery and ensure it enables providers to build the types of homes the country needs.

These documents set out the detail of the programme’s policy before bidding opens in February 2026.
