David Ball, Interim Chief Financial Officer at VIVID said: "We welcome today’s Spending Review and the clear recognition from government of the vital role housing associations like ours play in tackling the housing crisis and helping more people into safe, secure, and affordable homes.
“The extension of the Affordable Homes Programme to a 10-year horizon is a significant and positive step. This long-term commitment - something we and others in the sector have long called for - will give housing providers the confidence and stability needed to plan ahead, invest in communities, and deliver more homes where they’re needed most, especially social rented homes. It also opens the door to larger, more strategic developments that can make a real difference, delivering at pace and scale.
"At VIVID, we remain committed to working with our partners and government to ensure everyone has access to a decent, affordable home - and today’s Spending Review gives us renewed hope and momentum to keep moving forward."
