The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) has launched the second phase of bidding for its 拢1.7bn Affordable Homes Programme, which will release a tranche of funds worth around 拢800m.

鈥淎s well as building homes this funding is also a key part of our long-term economic plan, creating construction jobs as we deliver a further 165,000 new affordable homes from 2015.鈥�
