The Community Housing Fund was announced in the 2016 Spring Budget and officially launched in December 2016. It is a £300 million fund which is intended to help nearly 150 councils tackle high levels of second homeownership in their communities.

Intended to last 5 years until 2021, the Fund aims to give community groups the chance to assume ownership of housing matters, helping them deliver affordable housing aimed at first-time buyers, and reinvest in other activities or services which will benefit the local area. It expects an additional 13,000 homes to be built by 2021.

Almost £20m – one-third of the funding – is to be allocated to South Western local authorities, being the region with the most prevalent second homeownership (21%).

However, since the general election, the government has not confirmed its retention, creating unnecessary uncertainty for the sector.
