September 20, 2018

UK Finance response to the Prime Minister’s speech  at the National Housing Federation Summit, where she announced £2bn of additional funding for housing associations.

Jackie Bennett, Director of Mortgages at UK Finance, said:

“Today’s announcement provides much needed certainty regarding the government’s commitment to the social housing sector, enabling housing associations and their private funders to plan and build for the future.

“Affordable housing across the UK is an economic and social priority and lenders are committed to playing their part.

“The industry provided £8.6 billion of private finance for social housing in 2017, helping to fund affordable homes across the country.

“UK Finance and its members now stand ready to work with the government and housing associations to support long-term investment in affordable homes.”
