Homes England. Strategic Plan 2025-2030 and Investment Roadmap
The Government’s housing and regeneration Agency, Homes England has set out plans to deliver new homes, transform the housing market, support housing-led regeneration and drive innovation in its Strategic Plan 2025-2030 published on 11 December 2025. The strategic plan is further supported by the Homes England investment roadmap published on the same day in December 2025.
The Strategic Plan 2025 to 2030 has 6 strategic objectives:
- significantly increase new housing supply and accelerate housing delivery across all tenures.
- deliver the biggest increase in social and affordable homes in a generation.
- unlock new institutional investment for housing and mixed-use schemes and deliver financial returns.
- collaborate with partners and local leaders to enable development and regeneration that boosts local economic growth.
- foster innovation and create market conditions to support a dynamic, diverse, and sustainable built environment and housing sector.
- ensure homes are safe, secure and decent, and residents safeguarded.
The roadmap describes its work being based on four foundations:
- Flexibility: National Housing Delivery Fund and the National Housing Bank, aim for greater autonomy in making investment decisions, enabling faster actions to create tailored interventions for partners and places.
- Working with places: New regional model, led by Regional Executive Directors, allows stronger partnerships with Mayors and local leaders. Building on Strategic Place Partnerships with Mayoral Strategic Authorities will enable skills, expertise, funding, and land to support the delivery of local housing and regeneration priorities.
- Unlocking new capital at scale: The National Housing Bank, and new funds (the National Housing Delivery Fund and the Social and Affordable Homes Programme) help mobilise institutional capital at scale on a broader range of schemes. Funding and expertise uses across other Public Financial Institutions, such as the National Wealth Fund, strengthening partnerships and the way that government engages with investors and places.
- Embracing transformation, data, and evidence: Continue use of place data, evaluation evidence, and robust analysis to guide decisions, making data and analysis increasingly available to our partners.
In combination with one another these two documents describe how the government aims to harness expertise, influence, and resources, through themed investment driving funding models and reshaping the power a step change across the country in the delivery of high-quality, safe and sustainable homes and vibrant, inclusive communities.
The Strategic Plan builds on the government’s 2025 Spending Review and responds to partner calls for more tailored, flexible, and long-term support delivered at scale. It places collaboration with mayors, local leaders, and partners at its core to help deliver high-quality, safe, and sustainable homes in thriving, inclusive communities, contributing to the government’s ambition to build 1.5 million new homes during this parliament.
Alongside the Plan, Homes England has published an Investment Roadmap outlining its investment themes, priorities, and expected interventions to guide decision-making. The roadmap provides early direction ahead of the full Investment Prospectus in early 2026, helping partners identify opportunities to work with the agency, and includes details on the new National Housing Delivery Fund and the National Housing Bank.
