Homes England is strengthening UK Government’s ambitions for housing and regeneration through the introduction of the National Housing Bank (NHB). The NHB is a new financial organisation designed to unlock investment at scale and accelerate the delivery of more homes, stronger places and thriving communities across the country. Backed with £16bn in new financial capacity, alongside £6bn already committed this Parliament, the NHB represents one of the most significant new interventions in the housing sector in a generation.
The NHB, operating as a subsidiary of Homes England, exists to unlock investment at scale and connect capital with capability. We use our financial capacity and deep local relationships to drive regeneration, enable innovation and create the conditions for sustainable growth. By pairing government-backed finance with solutions that the market needs, we help partners bring forward the homes, infrastructure and long-term development that transform places and support people to live well.
Purpose-driven and built for impact, the NHB provides its partners the confidence and financial firepower to innovate and unlock complex sites, scale up investment and deliver at pace. Offering custom-built finance, strong partnerships and a commitment to shaping better futures, the NHB enables investment that would not otherwise happen- accelerating growth and creating the conditions for communities to flourish.
Joining the National Housing Bank offers a rare and exciting opportunity to help shape this new national organisation from the ground up; influencing how we operate, how we partner, and how we deliver impact across the country.
