What our partners say….

2. Alan Yates, executive director of
regeneration, Accord Group:
“There will be further
opportunities to bid for
additional funding which is
really welcome.”

3. Stephen Teagle, group managing director for
affordable housing and regeneration,
Galliford Try:
“[transition to the 15-18
programme]…will also enable us to
bring forward additional schemes
under continuous market
engagement as we acquire new
sites and can accurately forecast
delivery timescales.”

4. Matthew Harrison, chief executive,
Great Places Housing Group:
“The fact that the HCA
has reserved funds for
future allocations is
[also] good news
because it means there
is scope to develop
even more new homes.”

5. Sue Chalkley, chief executive,
Hastoe:
“We are particularly pleased
that there will be
opportunities to return for
further grant through the
Continuous Market
Engagement (CME) process.
This will be useful for our
work in rural communities
and our partnerships with
Community Land Trusts
where lead in times can be
longer.”

6. Kevin Willetts, executive
director of development,
WM Housing:
“The CME approach
means we can develop
further schemes in detail
before asking for grant,
so we can not only react
to the changing
economy but also
present schemes with a
higher chance of
successful delivery at a
cost which we can be
more certain of
achieving.”
