Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

To measure progress, we include homes for social rent, intermediate rent and shared ownership. These units are delivered by registered social landlords, local authorities, and private sector providers (referred to as ‘others’). The figures also include housing units leased for more than one year to provide accommodation for homeless families although these do not fully meet the TAN 2 definition. The reported target figure excludes shared equity affordable housing units.

Data collection or calculation

The information presented here is collected via annual returns from Welsh social landlords (local authorities and registered social landlords) on the actual affordable housing provision delivered during each year. The collection also requests the estimated future provision for the following year.

Statistical quality

Measuring progress on the previous government’s commitment to deliver 20,000 new low-carbon homes for rent in the social sector during 2021 to 2026:

The Programme for Government published by the previous government in June 2021 and updated in December 2021, along with the then Minister for Climate Change’s Written Statement on Social Housing in Wales (15 June 2021), set out a commitment to deliver 20,000 new low carbon homes for rent within the social sector during its 2021 to 2026 government term. These official statistics have been the source for monitoring progress against that target. The target delivery period for this commitment was 1 May 2021 to 30 April 2026. This differs from the reporting period for these official statistics, which are collected on a financial-year basis (1 April to 31 March).
