Ms Lyndsey Anderson:

I have some forecasts from the approved housing bodies currently delivering cost-rental accommodation. According to their most recent business cases, just over 1,200 units are expected in 2025 and just over 2,000 in 2026. The current business plans project 1,641 for 2027. These are expected from the current providers. In the AHB sector, we also expect an increase in the number of AHBs delivering cost-rental homes. We understand our colleagues in the Housing Agency are working away on finalising the equity agreements and issuing guidance documents on the current CREL iteration. This information will be very valuable to boards of AHBs making a decision to move into cost-rental provision. We expect that by the end of the year.
