A Team That Will Deliver…
Homes England is forming a new partnership with the Combined Authority, creating a delivery team that will build capacity and bring in additional technical expertise to increase the scale and pace of housing supply across the West Midlands. Working together we will deliver new, quality homes, where they are needed most, alongside new jobs and infrastructure.
This region is on the rise. It’s attracting jobs and investment. It has strong leadership from people with a cando attitude who want to get on and deliver. Above all, they’re interested in the quality of development and creating real communities with handsome homes and fantastic public realm that works for everyone. That’s why people are talking about the West Midlands.
