Affordable Housing Supply Programme 2018-19 Out-turn Report

1. Introduction Making sure everyone in Scotland has access to good quality housing is a vital part of the

Scottish Government’s drive to secure economic growth, promote social justice, strengthen communities and tackle inequality.

Through the More Homes Scotland approach, the Scottish Government has introduced

measures to support the increase in the supply of homes.

An overview of the More Homes Scotland approach to help increase housing supply

across all tenures.

2018-19 was the third year of the Scottish Government’s five year programme to deliver 50,000 affordable homes over the current parliamentary term, 35,000 of which will be for

social rent. This is backed with investment of over £3.3 billion, representing a 94% increase on our previous five year investment.

In 2018-19, the affordable homes provided through the Scottish Government’s Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) comprised homes for social rent, for mid-market rent

and for low cost home ownership. These homes took various forms including; new build homes, rehabilitation projects, off-the-shelf purchases and homes for low-cost home ownership from existing housing stock.

Funding was provided to Registered Social Landlords (RSLs), councils, community

partnerships and trusts, individuals and private developers. This report outlines the AHSP out-turn information for financial year 2018-19. Back to contents page

2. Planning and delivery of the AHSP All local authorities prepare and submit a Local Housing Strategy (LHS) which is at the heart of the arrangements for housing and planning through its links with Development Plans and its strategic role in directing investment in housing and housing related services locally. A Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) is prepared and submitted to Scottish

Government annually which sets out over a five year period, how the local authority plans to prioritise delivery of the outcomes set out in its LHS. The SHIPs provide the basis for targeting investment through the AHSP and aid prioritisation where there are competing demands on resources.

A resource planning approach operates. This enables each local authority to exercise its strategic role more flexibly and to put forward to Scottish Government strategic local proposals for social and affordable housing developments, based on their Local Housing Strategy and SHIP. Local authorities were advised of Resource Planning Assumptions

(RPA) for 2018-19 to 2020-21 in April 2018 providing the certainty and assurance that the housing sector needs to deliver the current affordable homes target.

A Strategic Housing Investment Framework (SHIF) was agreed with the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) to determine the allocation of funding to 30 of the 32

local authority areas, (funding for Glasgow City Council and City of Edinburgh Council is governed by an annual grant offer). The SHIF formula takes into account four indicators; affordability, deprivation, rurality and homelessness.

5

Each local authority has the flexibility to apply the available Scottish Government funding

to the strategic priorities it identifies within its geographic area. If any of those resources are not able to be spent within the financial year it has been allocated, those funds may be reallocated to other local authority areas across Scotland.

A central budget was retained by the Scottish Government for other parts of the AHSP,

including funding for the Low Cost Initiative for First Time buyers, the Home Owners ’ Support Fund and the Rural and Islands Housing Funds.

The AHSP was delivered through the network of Scottish Government More Homes Division Area Teams. Glasgow City Council and City of Edinburgh Council managed the

AHSP for their own local authority areas as a result of the Transfer of Management of Development Funding (TMDF), which is governed by an annual grant offer.

3. Official Statistics

The data provided in this report is based on management information. It should be noted

that the Scottish Government also publishes Official Statistics on this information on a quarterly basis. Whilst the Official Statistics are based on the management information, it may differ slightly due to statistical adjustments which are carried out to ensure consistency across different measures and across time.

The Official Statistics on the Affordable Housing Supply Programme for 2018-19 and other housing statistics can be found at the Housing statistics for Scotland web pages.

Information on any adjustments to the management information for statistical purposes will be included in the explanatory notes and the footnotes to these statistical publications.

Since May 2013 quarterly statistics on approvals, site starts and completions by tenure have been published, clearly identifying the numbers for social rent, mid-market rent and

affordable home ownership. This is in addition to the previous format of these statistics which focused primarily on the split between new build, refurbishment and off-the-shelf purchases. Back to contents page

4. Scope of the Affordable Housing Supply Programme

The AHSP aims to deliver a mix of social housing and other affordable housing, which are defined as follows:

Affordable housing within the context of the AHSP includes both social and mid-

market rented homes, and also low cost home ownership properties.

Social housing is rented housing let by councils and registered social landlords,

normally with a Scottish Secure Tenancy Agreement.

In 2018-19 investment through the AHSP was made up of a variety of different grant

mechanisms and loan and equity funding. Guarantees from the Scottish Government continued to support the National Housing Trust Initiative which contributes to the unit numbers delivered through the AHSP.

The following provides a summary of the types of support given in 2018-19

Grant to Housing Associations

Grant is available to registered social landlords (RSLs) to acquire land or buildings and to build, convert or improve housing for social rent, or their subsidiaries for mid market rent or low-cost home ownership. RSLs are registered with and regulated by the Scottish

Housing Regulator (SHR).

Support to Mid Market Rent (MMR)

Mid market rent properties are aimed at assisting people on low and modest incomes to access affordable rented accommodation. This housing option is targeted at people on

incomes that are not enough to afford owner occupation but who can afford to pay more than a social rent. In 2017-18 they were mainly provided by RSL subsidiaries. In exchange for the financial support from Scottish Government, the landlord accepts restrictions on the rents that they can charge. Mid market rent is supported by Scottish

Government through grant funding as well as innovative initiatives including loan finance and financial guarantees.

Council House Delivery

Grant is available to incentivise local authorities to deliver more council homes.

Low Cost Initiative for First-Time Buyers (LIFT)

LIFT brings together ways to help households access homeownership where it is

affordable for them to do so. Shared equity as part of LIFT, helps people on low to moderate incomes to become homeowners where it is affordable for them over the long term. The LIFT shared

equity schemes in operation were New Supply Shared Equity (NSSE) and the Open Market Shared Equity Scheme (OMSE). Under the New Supply Shared Equity scheme, the Scottish Government gives grants

to registered social landlords to help them build or buy new homes for sale and provide

7

them on a shared equity basis to people on low to moderate incomes. Buyers fund 60

to 80 per cent of the purchase price and the Scottish Government will hold the remaining share under a shared equity agreement. The Open Market Shared Equity scheme helps eligible buyers on low to moderate

incomes to buy a home that is for sale on the open market where it is sensible and sustainable for them and it is administered through agents on behalf of the Scottish Government. Purchasers fund 60 to 90 per cent of the purchase price and the Scottish

Government will hold the remaining share under a shared equity agreement

Partnership Support for Regeneration (PSR) – (former Grant for Rent and Owner Occupation (GRO) Grants)

These are grants to private developers to build houses for sale. They are used to introduce housing for sale in areas with little or no private housing and to help meet local shortages.

Grant is only considered where projects meet the local strategic investment objectives of

the area and are consistent with the Local Housing Strategy of the local authority where development is proposed.

Home Owners’ Support Fund (HOSF)

The Mortgage to Rent scheme and the Mortgage to Shared Equity scheme make up the

Home Owners' Support Fund, which helps owners who are experiencing difficulty in paying any loans that are secured against their property. The Mortgage to Rent scheme enables households to remain in their home by selling it to a social landlord - such as a housing association or local authority – and allowing them to continue to live there as a tenant. The

Mortgage to Shared Equity scheme involves the Scottish Government taking a financial stake in the property. This reduces the amount to be paid by the owner to the lender every month.

Town Centre Empty Homes Fund (TCEHF)

A former fund to create affordable homes for sale and rent by converting disused commercial premises. It also targeted long-term empty homes needing renovation to make them habitable.

Rural and Islands Housing Funds

Launched in 2016 with the primary aim of increasing the supply of long term affordable housing of all tenures in rural and islands areas. These funds are open to a wide range of potential applicants, including those not able to access traditional funding streams such as

community bodies, rural landowners, landlords and private developers. It enables them to take a more active role in meeting the housing needs of their community.

Innovative Financing

Innovative funding solutions such as government guarantees, loans and grant recycling are supporting our ambitions to create communities that are inclusive, empowered, resilient and

safe, while expanding the delivery of more homes across all tenures. We continue to collaborate across the public and private sectors, working with local authorities and delivery partners to maximise available public resources in order to harness increased levels of private finance in innovative ways.

A number of other projects have contributed to the continued expansion of affordable housing supply through mid market rent (MMR) across Scotland including LAR Housing Trust, MMR Invitation and National Housing Trust.

Local Affordable Rented (LAR) Housing Trust – a Scottish charity set up to provide long-

term, MMR housing across Scotland. Supported by a package of SG loan funding and Institutional Investment, to date LAR has delivered MMR homes across six local authority

areas. Mid Market Rent Invitation - supported by Scottish Government loan funding with plans in

place to attract significant pension fund investment to support delivery of MMR homes

across Scotland. National Housing Trust (NHT) – The first government guarantee-backed housing

programme in the UK – is a pioneering example of creative working amongst the public,

private and non-profit sectors to boost affordable housing supply and stimulate the economy. Now in its final phase of delivery, NHT has given people the opportunity to have a good quality home at an affordable rent, without the need for grant or loan funding. Charitable Bond – The Charitable Bond model is an innovative funding mechanism which

provides loan finance for affordable housing, while also generating instant capital funds, in the form of Charitable Donations. In 2018/19 no projects received Charitable Donation funding but some homes reported within the AHSP for 2018/19 will have been funded with

money received through previous Charitable Donation funding. In some instances the donations formed the sole subsidy contribution from the Scottish Government towards the development of social housing but in other cases they were donated in addition to grant funding through the AHSP.

7. Progress towards 50,000 Completions Target 2016-17 to 2020-21 2018-19 marks the end of the third year of the current five year target to deliver 50,000 affordable homes of which 35,000 should be for social rent. Table 7 illustrates our progress to date against these targets. The profile of delivery is back loaded to the latter years of the target period given the significant increase in ambition to deliver 50,000

affordable homes. Table 7

delivered in the Local Authority Areas: Argyll and Bute, Eilean Siar (Western Isles), Highland, Orkney, and Shetland.

The spend contained in the table relates to funding through the Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP). It should be noted that due to the nature of grant funding provided

through the AHSP there is no direct correlation between homes delivered and spend in each year. Homes delivered through the OMSE programme have been included in the Approvals, Site Starts and Completions but the spend has not been included.

11. Particular Needs

The Affordable Housing Supply Programme supports the delivery of flexible housing capable of being adapted to suit people’s changing requirements. Therefore wherever possible, all homes

are built to Varying Need Standards. The grant subsidy arrangements for the Affordable Housing Supply Programme are sufficiently flexible to support the development of specialist housing identified by local authorities as a priority, helping disabled people with more complex needs live independently in their own homes and older people to stay in their own homes for longer.

Refreshed Local Housing Strategy (LHS) guidance published in September 2019 asks local authorities to demonstrate in a LHS that consideration has been given to the specialist provision requirements for those of all ages, in all types of household, across all tenures, including

disabled people and people with high support needs currently either in long term care in hospital or out of area placement, those discharged from hospital or a similar institution. Priorities and outcomes identified in a LHS help inform local authority local authority Strategic Housing Investment Plans which set out the key strategic housing investment priorities over a five year

period. The Scottish Government wants disabled people in Scotland to have choice, dignity and freedom to access suitable homes, built or adapted to enable them to participate as full and equal

citizens. In March 2019, it published guidance for local authorities, which will support the delivery of more wheelchair accessible housing. The guidance requires local authorities to set targets across all housing tenures for the delivery of wheelchair-accessible homes and to report annually on progress.

The table below shows that 922 homes were purpose built for older people or disabled people including 268 identified as specifically designed for wheelchair users.

Within the AHSP there exists a strong focus on enhancing energy efficiency. To incentivise delivery of new homes which meet a greener standard, a

system to vary the subsidy benchmarks for new council and housing association homes was introduced in 2012-13.

To qualify for higher subsidy, the building standards for the new homes must meet Section 7, Silver Level, of the 2011 Building Regulations in respect of both Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Energy for Space Heating.

APPENDIX 2 Table 19 - AHSP Completions and Spend by Location for 2017-18 – Revised

As part of the introduction of the HARP (Housing and Regeneration Programmes) management system in September 2017 projects and their geographic classification were migrated from the TRS (The Resource System) management system. Due to the volume

of projects involved migration was carried out on a category wide basis meaning a number of projects were reclassified as Urban when in fact their post code determined they were Rural homes. The figures were reviewed and a new table created.
