Affordable Housing Supply Programme 2019-20 Out-turn Report

1. Introduction Making sure everyone in Scotland has access to good quality housing is a vital part of the Scottish Government’s drive to secure economic growth, promote social justice, strengthen communities and tackle inequality.

Through the More Homes Scotland approach, the Scottish Government has introduced

measures to support the increase in the supply of homes across all tenures.

This work contributes to the vision for national wellbeing in Scotland laid out in the National Performance Framework (NPF). A range of indicators are used to assess Scottish Government’s progress towards our purpose and national outcomes. These provide a broad measure of national wellbeing, incorporating a range of economic, social and environmental factors. The Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) contributes to the following National Outcomes: Communities Education Poverty Economy Environment

Warm and affordable homes are much more than just bricks and mortar, they provide the foundation for family life and the much needed security families require to work, learn and thrive. Ensuring families have suitable accommodation, free from overcrowding, gives children a safe space to do their homework and have friends home from school. Affordable and secure housing removes a significant barrier for parents who can then focus on accessing employment or training opportunities. An estimated 3,100 households with children have been helped into affordable housing in the year to March 2020. Keeping social rents lower than market rents benefits approximately 110,000 children in poverty each year. Our investment in housing, will, on average, leverage economic output in the region of £1.4 billion per year, supporting around 10,000 to 12,000 jobs per annum in the construction and related industries in Scotland. The majority of the homes delivered through the AHSP will be for social rent thereby helping to provide more affordable housing options and the homes built are able to access higher subsidy levels if delivering at greener standards. 2019-20 was the fourth year of the Scottish Government’s five year programme to deliver 50,000 affordable homes over the current parliamentary term, 35,000 of which should be for social rent. This is backed with investment of over £3.5 billion, representing a 94% increase on our previous five year investment.

In 2019-20 the affordable homes provided through the Scottish Government’s Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) comprised homes for social rent, for mid-market rent and for low cost home ownership. These homes took various forms including; new build

6

homes, rehabilitation projects, conversions and off-the-shelf purchases of both new and second hand homes.

Funding was provided to Registered Social Landlords (RSLs), councils, community partnerships and trusts, individuals and private developers. This report outlines the AHSP out-turn information for financial year 2019-20. In March 2020 restrictions were brought in to force in Scotland to minimise the spread of COVID-19 which meant non-essential work in the construction industry was paused. This had an impact on the delivery of affordable homes at a critical time in our target period as housing construction was considered to be non-essential. This adversely affected the number of homes that would have been delivered during that time. Given the length of time that construction was paused it is unlikely we will now meet the target by the end of March 2021. We will, however, continue to work with partners across the housing sector to deliver the remainder of these homes, as quickly as it is safe to do so, and as construction proceeds in a new safe way.

2. Planning and delivery of the AHSP All local authorities are required to prepare a Local Housing Strategy (LHS) which sets out their strategic vision for the delivery of housing and housing related services and the outcomes that it will seek to achieve. Priorities and outcomes identified in the LHS help inform local authority Strategic Housing Investment Plans (SHIPs) which are submitted annually and which set out the key strategic housing investment priorities over a five year period. SHIPs provide the basis for targeting investment through the AHSP and aid prioritisation where there are competing demands on resources.

A resource planning approach operates. This enables each local authority to exercise its strategic role more flexibly and to put forward to Scottish Government strategic local proposals for social and affordable housing developments, based on their LHS and SHIP. Local authorities were advised of Resource Planning Assumptions (RPA) for 2019-20 to 2020-21 in April 2019 providing funding certainty to deliver the current affordable homes target.

A Strategic Housing Investment Framework (SHIF) was agreed with the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) in 2012 to determine the allocation of funding to 30 of the 32 local authority areas, (funding for Glasgow City Council and City of Edinburgh Council is agreed separately and includes funding from the Local Government Settlement). The SHIF formula takes into account four indicators; affordability, deprivation, rurality and homelessness.

Each local authority has the flexibility to apply the available Scottish Government funding to the strategic priorities it identifies within its geographic area. If any funding is not able to be spent within the financial year it has been allocated, those funds may be reallocated to other local authority areas across Scotland. Where possible monies are reallocated within the same local area team but the Scottish Government cannot guarantee that local

7

authority allocations will be readjusted in future years to compensate for any previous reallocations.

A central budget is retained by the Scottish Government for other parts of the AHSP, including funding for the Low-cost Initiative for First Time buyers, the Home Owners’ Support Fund and the Rural and Islands Housing Funds.

The AHSP is delivered through the network of Scottish Government More Homes Division Area Teams. Glasgow City Council and City of Edinburgh Council managed the AHSP for their own local authority areas as a result of the Transfer of Management of Development Funding (TMDF), which is governed by an annual grant offer.

3. Official Statistics

The data provided in this report is based on management information. It should be noted that the Scottish Government also publishes Official Statistics on this information on a quarterly basis. Whilst the Official Statistics are based on the management information, it may differ slightly due to statistical adjustments which are carried out to ensure consistency across different measures and across time. The Official Statistics on the Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) for 2019-20 and other housing statistics can be found at the Housing statistics for Scotland web pages. Information on any adjustments to the management information for statistical purposes will be included in the explanatory notes and the footnotes to these statistical publications. Since May 2013 quarterly statistics on approvals, site starts and completions by tenure have been published, clearly identifying the numbers for social rent, mid-market rent and affordable home ownership. This is in addition to the previous format of these statistics which focused primarily on the split between new build, refurbishment and off-the-shelf purchases. The information contained within this report is based on the most accurate information available at the time of collation. Given the scope of the programme there may be instances where information is subsequently updated. Where previous years are referenced there may be differences with previously reported information due to updates or revisions. Back to contents page

4. Scope of the Affordable Housing Supply Programme

The AHSP aims to deliver a mix of social housing and other affordable housing, which are defined as follows:

Affordable housing within the context of the AHSP includes both social and mid-market rented homes, and also low cost home ownership properties.

Social housing is rented housing let by councils and registered social landlords, normally with a Scottish Secure Tenancy Agreement.

In 2019-20 investment through the AHSP was made up of a variety of different grant mechanisms and loan and equity funding. Guarantees from the Scottish Government continued to support the National Housing Trust Initiative which contributes to the unit numbers delivered through the AHSP.

The following provides a summary of the types of support given in 2019-20.

Grant to Housing Associations

Grant is available to registered social landlords (RSLs) to acquire land or buildings and to build, convert or improve housing for social rent, or their subsidiaries for mid market rent or low-cost home ownership. RSLs are registered with and regulated by the Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR).

Support to Mid Market Rent (MMR)

Mid market rent properties are aimed at assisting people on low and modest incomes to access affordable rented accommodation. This housing option is targeted at people on incomes that are not enough to afford owner occupation but who can afford to pay more than a social rent. In 2019-20 they were mainly provided by RSL subsidiaries. In exchange for the financial support from Scottish Government, the landlord accepts restrictions on the rents that they can charge. Mid market rent is supported by Scottish Government through grant funding as well as innovative initiatives including loan finance and financial guarantees.

Council House Delivery

Grant is available to incentivise local authorities to deliver more council homes.

Low Cost Initiative for First-Time Buyers (LIFT)

LIFT brings together ways to help households access homeownership. The LIFT shared equity schemes in operation were New Supply Shared Equity (NSSE) and the Open Market Shared Equity Scheme (OMSE)

o Under the New Supply Shared Equity scheme, the Scottish Government gives

grants to registered social landlords to help them build or buy new homes for sale and provide them on a shared equity basis to people on low to moderate incomes. Buyers fund 60 to 80 per cent of the purchase price and the Scottish Government holds the remaining share under a shared equity agreement.

9

o The Open Market Shared Equity scheme helps eligible buyers on low to

moderate incomes to buy a home that is for sale on the open market. It is administered through agents on behalf of the Scottish Government. Purchasers fund 60 to 90 per cent of the purchase price and the Scottish Government holds the remaining share under a shared equity agreement

Partnership Support for Regeneration (PSR) – (former Grant for Rent and Owner Occupation (GRO) Grants)

These are grants to private developers to build houses for sale. They are used to introduce housing for sale in areas with little or no private housing and to help meet local shortages.

Grant is only considered where projects meet the local strategic investment objectives of the area and are consistent with the Local Housing Strategy of the local authority where development is proposed.

Home Owners’ Support Fund (HOSF)

The Mortgage to Rent scheme and the Mortgage to Shared Equity scheme make up the Home Owners' Support Fund, which helps home owners at the lower end of the market who are experiencing difficulty in paying any loans that are secured against their property. The Mortgage to Rent scheme enables home owners to remain in their home by selling it to a social landlord - such as a housing association or local authority – and allowing them to continue to live there as a tenant. The Mortgage to Shared Equity scheme involves the Scottish Government taking a temporary equity stake in the property. This reduces the amount to be paid by the owner to the lender every month.

Town Centre Empty Homes Fund (TCEHF)

A former fund to create affordable homes for sale and rent by converting disused commercial premises. It also targeted long-term empty homes needing renovation to make them habitable.

Rural and Islands Housing Funds

Launched in 2016 with the primary aim of increasing the supply of long term affordable housing of all tenures in rural and islands areas. These funds are open to a wide range of potential applicants, including those not able to access traditional funding streams such as community bodies, rural landowners, landlords and private developers. It enables them to take a more active role in meeting the housing needs of their community.

Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) Launched in July 2016, HIF is a five-year, demand-led scheme to support housing infrastructure linked to the delivery of 50,000 affordable homes by March 2021. HIF can provide grant to local authorities and RSLs or loan support to private sector organisations for housing related infrastructure where projects have stalled or can’t proceed due to the level or cost of infrastructure. The Fund is due to end on 31 March 2021 and we are considering how best to deliver housing infrastructure beyond then that aligns with wider SG policies such as Housing to 2040.

Innovative Financing Innovative funding solutions such as government guarantees, loans and grant recycling are supporting our ambitions to create communities that are inclusive, empowered, resilient and safe, while expanding the delivery of more homes across all tenures. We continue to collaborate across the public and private sectors, working with local authorities and delivery partners to maximise available public resources in order to harness increased levels of private finance in innovative ways. A number of other projects have contributed to the continued expansion of affordable housing supply through mid market rent (MMR) across Scotland including LAR Housing Trust, MMR Invitation and National Housing Trust. Local Affordable Rented (LAR) Housing Trust – a Scottish charity supported by a package of SG loan funding and Institutional Investment, and set up to provide MMR homes across Scotland. To date, LAR has delivered MMR homes across seven local authority areas. Mid Market Rent Invitation - PfP Capital were selected as the preferred bidder and are supported by a package of SG loan funding and pension fund investment to provide MMR homes across Scotland. PfP Capital has a current pipeline in place to deliver MMR homes across four local authority areas. National Housing Trust (NHT) – The first government guarantee-backed housing programme in the UK – is a pioneering example of creative working amongst the public, private and non-profit sectors to boost affordable housing supply and stimulate the economy. Now in its final phase of delivery, NHT has given people the opportunity to have a good quality home at an affordable rent, without the need for grant or loan funding. Charitable Bond – The Charitable Bond model is an innovative funding mechanism which provides loan finance for affordable housing, while also generating instant capital funds, in the form of Charitable Donations. In some instances the donations formed the sole subsidy contribution from the Scottish Government towards the development of social housing but in other cases they were donated in addition to grant funding through the AHSP.

5. Budgets

The resources available for the Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) in 2019-20 following in-year adjustments were £827.100 million. The budget included a mix of grant and Financial Transactions (FTs) for loans and equity use: Table 1

The reduced out-turn in capital grant of £8.592 million is due in part to a shortfall in anticipated receipts of £4.284 million, but also reduced construction activity of £4.308 million March 2020. Spend on Financial Transactions increased by £21.431 million. Back to contents page

Table 7 – Charitable Bond and Donation – investment and homes

The Scottish Government was the first major Scottish investor in Charitable Bonds. The Charitable Bond programme was first introduced in 2013-14 as an innovative investment model for the affordable housing sector. It makes development finance available to Registered Social Landlords for the provision of new affordable housing, whilst also generating capital funds in the form of Charitable Donations which then fund social rented homes. Allia are responsible for the delivery and administration of the Charitable Bond and subsequently the Charitable Donation scheme.

Charitable Donations can be made available to support the delivery of homes for social rent and organisations must be Registered Charities to receive the Donation. The Donation supplements the funding available through the mainstream AHSP for delivery of local strategic affordable housing priority projects. Since 2016, a number of projects have received Charitable Donations. In some instances, the project subsidy required is funded from a mix of AHSP grant and Charitable Donation. The level of Charitable Donation funds available depends on the demand from RSLs for loans through the Charitable Bonds programme and the interest rate on those loans. Charitable Bond investments are undertaken throughout the year so there is no fixed amount available for Charitable Donations at the start of each financial year. Decisions on allocating Charitable Donations are informed by the availability of strategic priorities able to be progressed above AHSP RPA levels and, where possible, ensuring a wide geographical spread. The homes supported through Charitable Donations are included in AHSP programme reporting although where projects are in receipt of both Charitable Donation and AHSP grant the homes are only accounted for once.

7. Progress towards 50,000 Completions Target 2016-17 to 2019-20 2019-20 marks the end of the fourth year of the current five year target to deliver 50,000 affordable homes, of which 35,000 should be for social rent. Table 9 illustrates our progress to date against these targets. The profile of delivery was always back loaded to the latter years of the target period given the significant increase in ambition to deliver 50,000 affordable homes. Table 9

8. Low-Cost Initiative for First-Time Buyers (LIFT) The Open Market Shared Equity (OMSE) scheme aims to help first time buyers and priority access groups on low to moderate incomes to purchase a home on the open market with an equity contribution of up to 40%. The average household income of buyers participating in this scheme in 2019-20 was £26,000. Nearly all (99%) of Open Market Shared Equity (OMSE) scheme purchasers were first time buyers. The majority (66%) of OMSE purchasers in 2019-20 were aged 35 or under. Monitoring information is available on the characteristics of households purchasing through the OMSE scheme.

9. Grant Rates

In January 2016, grant subsidies were increased for affordable homes for rent being delivered by councils and registered social landlords (RSLs). Subsidies were increased by up to £14,000 for each new home with incentives being offered for those homes achieving the higher greener standard. The subsidy tables are included in the Affordable Housing Supply Programme: Process and procedures.

11. Particular Needs

The Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) continues to support the delivery of flexible, adaptable housing to meet people’s needs as they change. Wherever possible, all homes are built to Varying Needs Standards. The grant subsidy arrangements for the AHSP are sufficiently flexible to support the development of specialist housing identified by local authorities as a priority, helping disabled people live independently in their own homes, and older people to stay at home for longer. Refreshed Local Housing Strategy (LHS) guidance published in September 2019 asks local authorities to demonstrate in a LHS that consideration has been given to the specialist provision requirements for those of all ages, in all types of household, across all tenures, including disabled people and people with high support needs currently either in long term care in hospital or out of area placement, those discharged from hospital or a similar institution. Priorities and outcomes identified in a LHS help inform local authority Strategic Housing Investment Plans which set out the key strategic housing investment priorities over a five year period. The Scottish Government wants disabled people in Scotland to have choice, dignity and freedom to access suitable homes, built or adapted to enable them to participate as full and equal citizens. We have published guidance for local authorities which will support the delivery of more wheelchair accessible housing requiring them to set targets across all housing tenures for the delivery of wheelchair-accessible homes and we are working with local authorities to put these in place.

The table shows that 1,049 homes were purpose built for older people or disabled people including 339 identified as specifically designed for wheelchair users.

Within the AHSP there exists a strong focus on enhancing energy efficiency. To incentivise delivery of new homes which meet a higher ‘greener’ standard, a system to vary the subsidy benchmarks for new council and housing association homes was introduced in 2012-13.

To qualify for higher subsidy, the building standards for the new homes must meet Section 7, Silver Level, of the 2011 Building Regulations in respect of both Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Energy for Space Heating.
