Some of the criteria for Homes England's allocation of strategic partnership funding have been revealed

In September, Amy Rees of Homes England told the Housing Community Summit that in assessing strategic partner bids, the agency considers value for money, including delivery rate and grant rate, the provider’s track record of deliverability, and diversity of tenure.  The latter category takes into account the level of provision of specialist housing, older people’s housing and rural housing.  She also said that policies around the targeting of low-interest loans, which were originally focused on private RPs "may be looked at again in the light of a new government".
