The creation of the new Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) reached a major milestone today as the Housing and Regeneration Bill received Royal Assent to become an Act. This paves the way for England’s single housing and regeneration agency to come into existence in early December. It will bring together English Partnerships, the Housing Corporation and the Academy for Sustainable Communities, together with some delivery functions of Communities and Local Government (CLG). Focusing on growth, renewal, affordability and sustainability, the HCA will create opportunities for people to live in homes they can afford in places they want to live, and enable local authorities to achieve their ambitions.
