Welcome flexibility in the timing of the current Affordable Homes Programme. Housing associations need certainty to keep building during challenging times & the programme extension will help put #HomesAtTheHeart of recovery. There’s much more to do, but this is a welcome step👇 https://t.co/G8FhJoJmIS
