The grant funding provided by the partnership has enabled the organisation to plan for the future with greater certainty.
In its first year as a strategic partner, the group, which owns and manages more than 23,000 homes across the Midlands and East of England, invested £81million to deliver 568 new homes and started work on a further 432.
Rob Griffiths, Deputy Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, said: “The strategic partnership has enabled us to plan our programme with greater certainty over a longer period.
“It has given us more freedom to work up new land-led opportunities for affordable homes, safe in the knowledge that the grant funding is in place. This is particularly important for more complex land-led schemes that take some time to get through planning and ultimately through to delivery.
