Hundreds of social houses to be built in the Midlands
Birmingham Mail
|October 08, 2025
RELAXED government rules will help see hundreds of new social houses built in the West Midlands.
West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker said he will use the £40 million Social Housing Accelerator Fund to convert 1,000 properties that are ready for occupation, under construction or soon-to-be-built, over to social rent homes.
He has previously made calls to be released from restrictions placed by the previous Government which meant West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) housing funds could not be spent directly on affordable or social housing.
