These are houses that have not been occupied. They very often are not fit for occupation. We provide funding to people to allow them to acquire these properties and bring them back into use. As a result, we are making those houses affordable for allow people to acquire and live in. It is very much an affordable purchase mechanism. The output in 2024 for total affordable purchase was 4,979 units. The target for 2025 is 4,100.
