The Echo has reported that Rochford District Council have accepted a settlement for \u00a31m from Sanctuary Housing for missing its agreed affordable housing target<\/a><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

The question still remains unanswered though – how many homes did Santuary fail to deliver for the residents? With around 1000 residents on the housing register the priority for the Council should be to deliver for those in need of social housing instead of topping up their reserves.<\/p>\n

In a recent article reported on housingtoday.co.uk it was stated<\/p>\n

Sanctuary built two thirds of the homes it was originally planning to in 2021\/22 due to \u2018lingering effects of the pandemic\u2019 it said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The 81,000-home housing association\u2019s financial statements revealed it completed 1,121 new homes in the year, 68% of the 1,644 homes it had originally targeted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, the figure represents a 34% increase on the 834 homes it built in pandemic-disrupted 2020\/21. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It said: \u201cDuring the year we delivered 1,121 homes, 353 through joint ventures and consortia, including 666 economical affordable housing properties.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWhile this is lower than expected due to the lingering effects of the pandemic, we remain fully committed to delivering affordable housing and communities in which people choose to live.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The housing association giant has set a target of building 1,500 new homes in 2022\/23.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the year it brought 875 of its existing homes up to Energy Performance Certificate C and is planning to bring a further 1,500 up to the standard next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
