Mid-market rent (MMR) is a type of affordable housing where rents are lower than in the private market, but higher than social housing. We continue to support the delivery of MMR through the mainstream grant-funded Affordable Housing Supply Programme, as well as enable innovative funding solutions that build on the success of Scottish Government-supported schemes, such as the National Housing Trust initiative (NHT) and the Local Affordable Rented Housing Trust (LAR).
The MMR Invitation has concluded assessment of a number of proposals which had the potential to deliver affordable MMR homes at scale by 2021 backed by Scottish Government financial support and attracting significant private investment.
