Key Worker Living Scheme: Affordable Housing
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what plans his Department has to support key workers to access affordable housing.
- Answer
-
The Government has brought forward a range of recent interventions to promote home ownership. As an example, the First Homes programme is designed to help local first-time buyers, and the £11.5 billion Affordable Homes Programme is intended to provide tens of thousands of new homes, a large number of which will be for Affordable and Social Rent.
Housing associations are required by the Tenancy Standard to co-operate with their local authority's strategic housing function and their duties to meet identified housing needs. As private organisations, beyond the obligations from these arrangements with their local authorities, housing associations are free to let their properties as they wish - including to key workers.
