Homes England says the strategy is a response to calls from partners for more tailored support, more flexibility, and longer-term funding.

It has been published by the government’s housing and regeneration agency alongside an investment roadmap, which outlines the next steps in setting up a national housing bank. A full investment prospectus will be published in early 2026.

Amy Rees, chief executive of Homes England, said: “I am proud to lead this organisation as we build on previous successes, embark on delivering our new strategic plan and continue our preparations to launch our new funds and the national housing bank by April 2026. 

“Our team will work with focus, pride, dedication and skill in equal measure, alongside thousands of partners across the country, to accelerate the delivery of homes, infrastructure and places that communities want and need.   

Six objectives of the Strategic Plan 2025-30   

  1. Significantly increase new housing supply and accelerate housing delivery across all tenures.
  2. Deliver the biggest increase in social and affordable homes in a generation.
  3. Unlock new institutional investment for housing and mixed-use schemes and deliver financial returns.  
  4. Collaborate with partners and local leaders to enable development and regeneration that boosts local economic growth.
  5. Foster innovation and create market conditions to support a dynamic, diverse, and sustainable built environment and housing sector.
  6. Ensure homes are safe, secure and decent, and residents safeguarded.   

“Alongside our commitment to national expertise and the creation of a specialist National Housing Bank, we are significantly strengthening our regional teams to ensure support is tailored to the needs of places and partner organisations. 

“This includes the imminent appointment of experienced leaders to head up each team, working hand-in-glove with mayors, local leaders and the wider housing and regeneration sector.”
