Housebuilder Miller Homes has partnered with a non-profit housing association to deliver new affordable homes across Yorkshire following a £36.4 million investment.
The arrangement is part of a wider effort by Bradford-based Incommunities to build new social housing under its five-year corporate strategy which ends in 2029.
Currently, Incommunities manages more than 22,000 properties across the Bradford district, with more in Kirklees, Wakefield and Sheffield.
The collaboration supports the government’s 10-year £39 billion Social and Affordable Homes Programme to jumpstart house building at scale throughout the country.
Rachael Dennis, group chief executive at Incommunities, said the firm was supporting the sector to “ensure the government’s stated commitment to housing [was] reflected in upcoming policy announcements and increased funding for both new and existing homes.”
To date, a total of 189 homes have been built under the Miller Homes (Yorkshire)-Incommunities initiative, including in Huddersfield.

Justin Tranmere, regional managing director for Miller Homes Yorkshire, said: “Incommunities fits perfectly with our own ethos of building communities, and making our homes available to as many people as possible in the region.
“It is proving to be a worthwhile partnership for us both and very pleasing to see our homes being enjoyed by those that Incommunities help.”
Miller Homes achieved £1.43 billion worth of revenue last year, powered by its acquisition of St Modwen Homes.
The group operates across Scotland, the North of England, and the Midlands and South, and is now targeting 7,000 home completions annually, with applications for 30 strategic sites planned this year.
In its last annual report, 25 per cent of Incommunities’ income was spent on developing new affordable homes last year, with £47.6 million invested (FY2024: £53.3 million).
Incommunities ended the year 2025 with a strong cash position of £11.9 million (FY2024: £13:9 million), supported by net assets valued at £111 million (FY2024: £102.7 million).
Additionally, its total income rose 11 per cent, to £125.6 million (FY2024: £113.1 million), underpinned by an operational surplus of £18.3 million (FY2024: £18.5 million).
