Report highlights Leeds City Council's homes growth work
Yorkshire Evening Post
|June 16, 2025
A new report has set out the results being achieved by Leeds Council's Housing Growth Programme (CHGP) - and the plans that mean the city is perfectly placed to keep building on that success.
The report shows that a total of 788 affordable homes - all for rent by council tenants-have been built or acquired through the CHGP over the last five years.
A further 284 affordable homes-which are again being delivered by the CHGP for rent by council tenants - are currently under construction or in the process of being acquired, with Armley, Gipton and Swinnow among the communities where major new-build schemes are taking shape.
Another 156 homes have been identified for delivery as part of the programme's five-year first phase but have yet to commence construction.
This story is from the June 16, 2025 edition of Yorkshire Evening Post.
