Conclusion (the committee's words)
We pressed the Department on how it expects to ensure an overall balanced and effective portfolio of projects which maximises the impact of the funding. It acknowledged that the final distribution of funding will depend on what projects come forward.52 It added that the NHDF has been designed to be flexible, and it does not want to constrain itself by being overly scientific when some of this is about judgment, previous examples and where it would want to prioritise funding.53 Evaluating the National Housing Delivery Fund
