[199072] Keith Hill: The Housing Corporation have so far allocated resources to fund a total of 275 shared ownership dwellings, and 196 Homebuy dwellings in Lambeth over the years 2004-06. In 1999, Homebuy was introduced into the Housing Corporation Approved Development Programme to replace Do-It- Yourself shared ownership schemes. The other forms of Low Cost Home Ownership are Right to Acquire, which is demand-led; and the Voluntary Purchase Grant, of which none are planned in Lambeth. The following table shows the split of Low Cost Home Ownership schemes by one, two, three and four or more bedrooms. The figure for Homebuy Market Purchase cannot be broken down until the individual properties are purchased.
