Who this service is for
Applying for Social and Affordable Homes Programme (SAHP) funding as a Strategic Partnership is designed for larger housing associations or providers that:
- have a track record in building large numbers of new social and affordable homes
- want certainty over time
- are looking for long-term, multi-year funding
The alternative funding route is by Continuous Market Engagement (CME). This is better for those developing smaller, individual projects or portfolios on a scheme-by-scheme basis.
