Homes England
About This Funder
Homes England, the government's housing and regeneration agency for England, champions social justice by increasing high-quality affordable homes and fostering thriving places that level up deprived communities and enhance lives through inclusive placemaking. Core values of partnership, innovation, stewardship, and social responsibility drive decisions, emphasizing market interventions to overcome development barriers, unlock challenging sites, and catalyze sustainable regeneration. Their theory of change prioritizes evidence-driven, place-based collaboration with housing associations, community-led groups, and local authorities to deliver long-term social, economic, and environmental outcomes via tailored investments in specialist housing and community infrastructure.
They support capital investments in affordable housing including social rent, affordable rent, shared ownership, and specialist supported housing for people with disabilities, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, complex health needs, mental health challenges, elderly residents, care leavers, homeless people, and families facing poverty or housing insecurity. Key activities encompass community-led housing developments, brownfield remediation for regeneration, mixed-tenure projects integrating employment training, community infrastructure, and youth work facilities, modern methods of construction for resilient homes, infrastructure enabling access for disabled people and isolated individuals, capacity-building for grassroots organizations addressing social isolation, youth unemployment, and family support in high-need areas. Interventions promote preventative homelessness prevention, inclusive design for autism spectrum needs and ADHD, net zero sustainability, and holistic placemaking that boosts community cohesion, economic resilience, and access to day services, peer support, and therapeutic environments within vibrant neighborhoods.
Exclusions include revenue funding, core operational costs, or general charitable activities without housing or regeneration focus. Distinctives lie in convening public-private partnerships for complex sites, brownfield-first regeneration in economically deprived or socially isolated communities, championing SME innovators and community-led models with lived experience leadership, and mandating community engagement, evidence-based impact, high design standards, safety, and environmental commitments prioritizing levelling-up regions with acute housing needs for vulnerable families, disabled people, and low-income groups.
