Homes England has launched the National Housing Bank, with the government agency announcing the first investment of a £100 million partnership with Aviva. The National Housing Bank is open for business alongside the publication of a new Investment Prospectus, setting out Homes England’s full range of funding and support. The Bank will work with developers, investors and registered providers, deploying up to £16 billion of debt, equity and guarantees to aid the delivery of more than 500,000 homes and “a raft of” major regeneration and mixed-use schemes.
