2015-18 Affordable Homes Programme

CME

What our partners say….

Alan Yates, executive director of regeneration, Accord Group:

“There will be further opportunities to bid for additional funding which is really welcome.”

Stephen Teagle, group managing director for affordable housing and regeneration,

Galliford Try:

“[transition to the 15-18 programme]…will also enable us to

bring forward additional schemes under continuous market

engagement as we acquire new sites and can accurately forecast

delivery timescales.”

Matthew Harrison, chief executive, Great Places Housing Group:

“The fact that the HCA has reserved funds for

future allocations is [also] good news

because it means there is scope to develop

even more new homes.”  

Sue Chalkley, chief executive, Hastoe:

“We are particularly pleased that there will be

opportunities to return for further grant through the

Continuous Market Engagement (CME) process.

This will be useful for our work in rural communities and our partnerships with

Community Land Trusts where lead in times can be

longer.”

Kevin Willetts, executive director of development, WM Housing:

“The CME approach means we can develop further schemes in detail before asking for grant, so we can not only react to the changing economy but also present schemes with a higher chance of successful delivery at a cost which we can be more certain of achieving.”
