A record of DH funded schemes

Built into the conditions of grant in the DH's Prospectus, the Housing LIN has been tasked with the responsibility for sharing lessons and information and knowledge exchange, including keeping a record of all completed DH funded schemes on our online scheme directory (opens new window).

The HCA and GLA have now notified all the successful bidders and their partners in Phase One and Phase Two to register with the Housing LIN in order that they can take part in the Housing LIN's knowledge and information exchange opportunities. They are expected to now supply information about their pipeline development.
