The Programme for Government commits to delivering 50,000 new social homes over the coming five-year period. There will be a very strong and increasing emphasis on new build supply. Since taking up office I am working within my Department and with key stakeholders and delivery partners to fully understand the most up to date position regarding delivery across social housing programmes and in particular, the construction programme, taking the impact of Covid-19 into account and to programme future delivery taking account of policy and budgetary considerations. Once the overall annual delivery programme is agreed, it will be translated across into local delivery targets.
