The claim that the current government has invested £39 billion to deliver more social and affordable homes is well-supported by official government sources. At the June 2025 Spending Review, Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced a new 10-year £39 billion Social and Affordable Homes Programme (SAHP), running from 2026-27 to 2035-36. This is confirmed by multiple official GOV.UK publications, including the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government's policy statement "Delivering a Decade of Renewal for Social and Affordable Housing," which states: "we have confirmed a new 10-year £39 billion Social and Affordable Homes Programme (SAHP) to kickstart social and affordable housebuilding at scale across the country." A letter from the Housing Minister to registered providers clarified that the £39 billion is "all new money for this Spending Review and beyond, over and above the £12.3 billion budget for the AHP between 2021-2026," and includes £2 billion of "Bridge" funding in 2026-27. One nuance: the £39 billion is a commitment/allocation over 10 years, not money that has already been fully spent. As of the speech date (June 2026), the programme would have only just begun disbursing funds. However, in political parlance, "invested" is commonly used to mean "committed to invest" or "allocated," and the £39 billion figure itself is accurately stated and officially confirmed.
