Spending Review 2025 webinar

Following the Government’s Spending Review on the 11 June 2025, the National Housing Federation (NHF) hosted a webinar unpacking the key housing announcements.

The measures included a £39bn investment in the Affordable Homes Programme (AHP), a ten-year rent settlement with annual increases capped at CPI+1%, a consultation on how to introduce rent convergence, full funding for the Warm Homes Plan, and equal access for social landlords to building safety remediation funding.

The Spending Review also committed £100m for homelessness prevention and £2.5bn in low-interest loans for social housing providers to support housebuilding.

This webinar explored what this will mean for housing associations, how they can prepare for any key funding and considered the implications on key housing strategies, for example, the development of the Affordable Houses Programme.
