Cheshire East invest half-a-million into affordable housing
CHESHIRE East Council is investing £500,000 of its capital assets to encourage registered providers and developers to bring affordable housing to the borough.
The Housing Innovation Fund will be launched by Cheshire East imminently and developers and registered providers will be invited to apply for a prospectus.

“Incentivising the delivery of affordable housing schemes will bring forward much needed accommodation to support our jobs-led growth plans and provide sustainable vibrant communities.”
