Issue details

The Mayor of Bristol has set out the objective of delivering 2000 new homes per year, of which 800 should be affordable, by 2020. In response to this the Council allocated £57m for the Council to provide grants to registered providers and other eligible organisations for affordable homes for rent or supplementary grants: to promote Zero Carbon affordable homes, adopt modular housing and incentivise the building of wheelchair user bungalows.
