Affordable housing project unveils 30 homes, promises more to come
A brand-new 30-home social housing project has been unveiled by its creators, amid promises of more developments to come – in news which could create more social housing jobs.
Terry Fuller, the regional director of the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). officially launched the new development in Bury St Edmonds this week.
The £4 million-backed scheme has provided space for up to 30 affordable housing tenants.
The chief executive of Havebury – the housing company behind the development – Steve Cook said that the homes were completed ahead of schedule and their prime location next to the town centre was only the first stage of several affordable housing projects to come.
"Nearly 2,000 people are currently on the register for an affordable home home in this area so building new homes is something we care about doing and doing it well," he added.
The HCA recently granted £27 million in record funding to kickstart a £1 billion social housing scheme in Hackney.
