−	As well as setting out the steps that government has taken to date, including providing long-term certainty on rents and agreeing not to extend the local housing allowance cap to the social sector, the announcement of new funding was intended to give housing associations more long-term certainty, stretching ahead to 2028/29.	+	As well as setting out the steps that government has taken to date, including providing long-term certainty on rents and agreeing not to extend the local housing allowance cap to the social sector, the announcement of new funding was intended to give housing associations more long-term certainty, stretching ahead to 2028/29. However, critics raised the point that the funding will only be available from 2022.

	But she called on housing associations to step up their output, saying, "rather than simply acquiring a proportion of the properties commercial developers build, I want to see housing associations taking on and leading major developments themselves. Because creating the kind of large-scale, high-quality developments this country needs requires a special kind of leadership – leadership you are uniquely well-placed to provide."
