MHCLG and Treasury officials are in dialogue with sector leaders about amortised grant

The Housing Finance Corporation (THFC) is backing a report by Housing Today and the G15 calling for affordable housing funding reform.

Priya Nair, chief executive of THFC, a non-profit organisation which issues bonds on behalf of social landlords, said the State of the Capital report’s recommendations “demonstrate just the kind of thinking our sector urgently needs”.
