  It will be noticed that the above outputs relate to the five years 2001-2—2005-6. 2006-7 is in progress at the time of writing and the total completions cannot therefore be confirmed. However, a further 20 units have so far been allocated by Enfield to other LAs,: 11 to Camden, 6 to Westminster and 3 to Hackney.

  It should also be noted that the data relates to the years in which the completion of affordable homes occurs and this is therefore different to the annual figures of new homes funded under the Housing Corporation programmes. For example units will not usually be completed in the year that they receive funding and for some complex schemes this may not happen for 2-3 years. Completions in any one year will therefore be composed of schemes funded in different years and because nomination shares are based upon total annual funding allocations the actual nominations distribution in any one year will not be comparable to any individual years funding allocation.

  Sub-regional nomination shares are calculated annually based upon the total housing Corporation funding allocation for that year using agreed criteria for exclusions and a formula based on needs.
