Affordable Housing Bill 2021

Public bill · Government · Presented

A new set of housing schemes would be put on a legal footing to help eligible households buy or rent homes at lower cost. It would let local authorities and the Land Development Agency provide discounted homes for purchase, offer help with buying homes on the open market, and set up cost rental homes with rents based on costs rather than market rates. It would also support a shared-equity scheme for private homes and let housing authorities handle applications and priorities for some Land Development Agency homes.
