Affordable Housing Capital Funding Guide 2011-12

Welcome to the Affordable Housing Capital Funding Guide’s (AHCFG) new layout. This Guide contains the rules and procedures for Registered Providers (RPs) providing housing under the Affordable Homes Programme with funding from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). Users who accessed the AHCFG through its previous website should note that although the look and some functionality have changed, the content is the same, and significant changes will continue to be announced in the usual way.

As well as grant funded schemes, this Guide will also provide occasional information on Nil Grant schemes, as defined by the Framework Delivery Agreement Heads of Terms (please see the AHP page for copies of the Heads of Terms for different types of RP).

The AHCFG contains five main books setting out the requirements, and a book of supplementary pages containing additional information and documents. These can be accessed by clicking on the headings at the left hand side of this screen. The books each contain one or more chapters.

In the five main books, the content is divided into “requirements” (i.e. what an RP has to do) and “guidance” (extra details and optional procedures). Requirement text appears automatically when a page is opened. Guidance text is accessed through a link.
 

Any queries users have on any aspect of the requirements contained within this guide, or any related matter, should contact their nearest Operating Area in the first instance.

Users may wish to familiarise themselves with the following pages/sections of the Guide:
 

• New Announcements – details of changes made to the guide as and when they happen
• AHCFG Library – for viewing previous versions of the guide
• Glossary – some useful definitions and explanations relating to the AHCFG and wider affordable housing issues
• Guide Index – please note that this is currently being updated and is not yet complete
