UPDATE: Rural Recovery And Renaissance – The Role For Affordable Homes

We write further to our letter dated 14^th May 2020 to welcome the recent commitment from the Government to invest £12 billion in new affordable homes over the next five years. This investment placing housing associations at the fore of economic recovery plans. As the detail of recovery planning takes shape, we would though remind the Government not to overlook the needs of rural communities and the valuable role that they will play in the country’s future.

The rural organisations named in this letter write to extend their offer of support and partnership to the Government as the nation unites at this challenging time.
