Stonewater secures £350m funding allocation from Homes England
The funding will support delivery of affordable homes across England, with a major focus on rural communities.
Housing provider Stonewater has secured a £350m funding allocation from Homes England.
The funding will support delivery of affordable homes across England, with a major focus on rural communities.
Jonathan Layzell (pictured), CEO of Stonewater, said: “This is fantastic news for Stonewater and the communities we serve.
“Securing our largest-ever allocation through the Social and Affordable Homes Programme is a strong endorsement of our ambition, capability and proven ability to deliver the homes people need.
“The funding provides welcome certainty for our development programme and reflects the confidence Homes England has in our ability to deliver high-quality affordable homes at scale.”
Layzell added: “We’re particularly pleased that our plans include a strong focus on rural communities.
“We recently heard from a family who moved into a new Stonewater home in Somerset.
“They previously struggled with feelings of isolation, but now are thriving in a vibrant rural community they wouldn’t have been able to live in had it not been for affordable housing.”
He said: “These are the types of stories we’ll hear more and more of thanks to this funding.
“This success is the result of a huge team effort across Stonewater. Colleagues from across the organisation contributed to our comprehensive proposal, with our Development and Finance teams playing a leading role.
“It demonstrates what we can achieve when we combine ambition with expertise and a clear sense of purpose.”
He added: “Most importantly, this funding will enable us to support more people and families by providing the affordable homes that are so desperately needed across the country.”
