		+
		+	The partnership will work with Place Capital Group and has the ambition to deliver 300 homes initially with scope to develop up to 3,300 homes as the funding grows. The homes will be developed on underused brownfield sites in regional UK towns and cities, improving housing stock and creating visibly cared for neighbourhoods. The high quality, low energy rental homes will be aiming at a market segment of lower to middle income working families, providing certainty of tenure in urban areas with good commuting links and social infrastructure.
		+
		+	The investment is one of the first to be supported by the National Housing Bank, and has already secured the Vescock Street development in Liverpool and the Moston Lane site in Manchester. 135 homes will be built in Vescock Street, part of Liverpool’s new town ambitions, a long-term programme to improve several underdeveloped Liverpool City neighbourhoods. Approximately 150 homes will be delivered in Moston Lane, with over a third as affordable, as part of a wider development to transform the area.

		+	Housing Secretary Steve Reed said:
		+
		+	"Launching England’s first ever National Housing Bank underpins a new way of doing things as we accelerate housebuilding at scale and tackle the housing crisis head on. Now open for business, the Bank will rake in billions of pounds of essential private investment to get spades in the ground for half a million new homes. This is just one of the many levers we’re pulling to make sure we reach our 1.5 million target this Parliament."
		+
		+	Homes England Chair Pat Ritchie CBE said:
		+
		+	The opening of the National Housing Bank and launch of the Investment Prospectus build on Homes England’s expertise at providing a wide range of finance to partners and places to unlock the delivery of new housing and mixed-use schemes. The National Housing Bank directly responds to calls from the housing sector, mayors and local leaders to increase the scale and flexibility of available public and private finance for housing and regeneration, to build the homes and communities our county needs. Our Investment Strategy puts place at the heart of how we invest, developing innovative tailored packages of support for the whole housing and regeneration system, bringing together grant, debt, equity, guarantees, land and expertise around local priorities.
		+
		+	Amy Rees CB, Chief Executive of Homes England, said:
		+
		+	The launch of both the National Housing Bank and Homes England’s Investment Prospectus are a watershed moment and mark an unprecedented scale of ambition and investment to deliver homes and regeneration across the country. Both institutions have up to £46 billion of capital to deploy over the next decade, including £27 billion of social and affordable housing grant, a share of £5 billion for land and infrastructure and up to £16 billion of debt, equity and guarantees.
		+
		+	The Investment Prospectus is explicit about the challenges facing the housing system, including affordability, viability, stalled land, constrained finance and delivery risk. Homes England and the National Housing Bank will step in where those market failures exist and help unlock delivery at pace. Our message to partners and investors is a simple one: please get in touch and talk to us. We are open for business and are committed to shaping the right solutions for a place or project.
		+
		+	Simon Century, Chief Executive of the National Housing Bank, said:
		+
		+	The National Housing Bank will back delivery at scale and act at pace, providing government-backed finance to de-risk projects and unlock delivery the market cannot change alone. Our ambition and scale as a public finance institution creates the conditions for long-term, stable investment, focusing on delivery and giving investors confidence whilst enabling more innovative, scalable delivery models. With delegated authority, we will take decisions quickly and proactively, acting as an enabler, not a barrier, to the market.
		+
		+	Peter Vernon, Chair of the National Housing Bank, added:
		+
		+	The National Housing Bank builds on Homes England’s strong track record, including long-standing investment in housing delivery and working in partnership with investors, developers and places. Building on this strong foundation and deploying substantial new firepower and flexibilities the Bank will look to build deeper and broader partnerships across the sector to accelerate early delivery as this significant day one investment clearly demonstrates.
