Local Authority Housing Fund Round 4 - EOI Validation Form
Overview
The £950 million LAHF R4 helps deliver MHCLG’s commitment to assist those who are homeless, alongside supporting the government’s humanitarian obligations to provide safe and suitable housing to those fleeing Afghanistan. LAHF R4 investment will provide local authorities with a lasting affordable housing asset for the future. As with LAHF R1, R2 and R3, this fund will operate only in England. Local authorities have been allocated capital funding under section 31 of the Local Government Act 2003 based on a funding formula to prioritise areas with the highest local housing pressures, using a grant per property model. Delivery targets are based upon this funding allocation.
208 local authorities have received an initial allocation of LAHF R4 funds and will also be considered for additional allocations (from unclaimed funds) if they can deliver more homes.
This Expression of Interest (EOI) form enables local authorities that have not received an initial allocation to notify MHCLG if they want to be considered for any remaining unclaimed LAHF R4 funds to deliver the programme objectives.
Grants awarded following this EOI process will be calculated based on the Grant Rate section of the LAHF R4 prospectus - see your LAHF R4 notification letter for details of this grant rate.
This form applies to eligible councils in England only which have not received an initial allocation. (If your local authority has been made an initial funding offer, you should use the Allocations Validation form:https://consult.communities.gov.uk/funding/local-authority-housing-fund-round-4-validation-fo )
All delivery proposals should be based on delivering the fund objectives as described at section 2.1 of the Prospectus and the grant per unit set out in your allocation email.
This EOI form is split into two parts - assessed questions and non-assessed questions.
