1. Who we are and what we do

Constitutionally, we are a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). Our statutory objects are contained in the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 (HRA), the legislation creating the Homes and Communities Agency, which in 2018 adopted “Homes England” as its trading name. 

Section 2 to the HRA sets out our statutory functions, which are:

  1. To improve the supply and quality of housing; 
  2. To secure the regeneration or development of land or infrastructure; 
  3. To support in other ways the creation, regeneration or development of communities or their continued wellbeing; and, 
  4. To contribute to the achievement of sustainable development and good design, with a view to meeting peoples’ needs. 
  5. Homes England are responsible for these objectives across England, except in London.
