Question
What plans does the Welsh Government have for the future development of the Housing Leasing Scheme Wales?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning (Siân Gwenllian)
Leasing Scheme Wales was launched in January 2022 as a five-year grant funded scheme and is scheduled to formally close in March 2027. The Welsh Government has no plans to extend the scheme beyond this date.
As the programme comes to an end, we are considering the lessons learned and how these can inform future policy interventions, including our commitment to bring more empty properties back into use for social rent.
