8. Affordable housing supply

Like many councils, Buckinghamshire is reliant upon its housing association partners (Registered Providers or RPs) to deliver new affordable homes. These will include homes purchased under S106 agreements with developers, those funded through the National Affordable Housing Programme through Homes England and those funded by the RPs themselves.

The figures below show the supply of new social housing delivered in 2020/21, broken down by the previous local authority areas (Chilterns and South Bucks amalgamated).

Total	26	62	414	502

NB: These figures include both new builds and acquisitions/purchases. The 14 intermediate properties shown under C&SB were built by South Bucks Council and sold to a private company. They are managed by an RP.
