Accent welcomes this landmark and much-needed investment to deliver new affordable homes which marks an important step forward to addressing the chronic shortage of genuinely affordable and social housing. It provides a renewed sense of confidence and momentum for our sector to be able to plan to continue to deliver new homes as the number of people living without the security, stability and dignity that a good home should provide increases.
We will be working across a range of innovative partnerships to deliver new homes at pace and scale. This investment is a great opportunity – not just to build more homes, but to do so with quality and impact. The challenges we face require collaborative solutions, and we are determined to bring our experience to the table to help create the housing that this country desperately needs.
At Accent, we are committed to being a proactive and ambitious delivery partner as we continue to build new, high-quality homes that are fit for the future – built to EPC A or net zero standards as part of our drive to help the Government meet its environmental targets. These will be homes that not only provide long-term affordability and lower running costs for customers, but also play a role in supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy.
