Magna will be building 2,000 new homes over the next 10 years and we are delighted to be supported with a significant boost from Homes England to support the first 300 of these.
This is all thanks to being a delivery partner to the Curo/Swan strategic partnership, which has been allocated a total of £160.4m of grant funding by Homes England to build 2,425 affordable homes over the next 5 years. This is the second time we have secured funding through the partnership, and it means we can continue to build much-needed affordable homes in the south west.
Providing a mix of social/affordable rent and low-cost shared ownership homes, Magna is working to help address the housing crisis and create opportunities for more people to get a foot on the housing ladder through its shared ownership programme.
Building sustainable, modular homes will also support Magna’s sustainability ambitions, and help to reduce running costs and carbon emissions.
Additionally, the funding will also help drive investment in local economies and create jobs and skills in our local area.
Paul Read, Director of New Supply and Sustainability at Magna, said: “These new homes will be delivered through our innovative modular homes programme, and all 300 will be all-electric, net-zero ready from the outset.”
Selina White, Chief Executive at Magna, added: “We’re delighted to be part of this delivery partnership - it helps to accelerate our affordable house-building programme and achieve our vision of creating great homes together. We know how important it is for people to have a secure and safe place to live, and with this new funding we are able to provide another 300 new homes.”
