Local Authority Housing Fund Round 4 - 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. 

This form applies to eligible councils in England only. If your local authority has not been made an initial funding offer, you should use the Expression of Interest form (EOI): https://consult.communities.gov.uk/funding/local-authority-housing-fund-round-4-expression-of .

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.

The validation form is split into two parts, assessed and non-assessed questions.
