The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has taken ownership of Homes England’s Section 106 Affordable Housing Clearing Service. In an update on the service’s page, MHCLG said its function had transferred from Homes England. The national housing and regeneration agency had been managing the database, connecting housebuilders with housing associations to address the problem of uncontracted and unsold affordable homes, since its inception in December 2024.
