The projects, worth £83m in the region, involve more than 2,000 homes. They include housing schemes in Grimsby, Rotherham, Hull, Leeds, Sheffield, Doncaster, Wakefield, Barnsley, East Riding and Skipton.
Every region has shortlisted projects and will benefit from this major cash injection, part of the Prime Minister’s Housing Pledge announced last month, that will help build the homes the country needs, help the country through the recession and help people into jobs. The projects have been identified by the Homes and Communities Agency through the Kickstart programme.
