Rural and islands housing: action plan

This plan sets out action so that people in rural and island areas have access to the high quality affordable and market housing to enable them to live, work and thrive. It supports our commitment to deliver 110,000 affordable homes by 2032, of which 10% will be in rural and island areas.
