Horsham District Council says it has been working with a number of partners to improve the level of affordable housing in the district.
Ten new affordable homes were completed at Farthings Hill, Horsham, at the end of 2011 and form part of a larger development adjacent to a veterinary surgery.
Moat Housing Association manages the four houses being sold on shared ownership leases and the six family homes for rent.
Thirty-eight homes are due to be completed at Bryce Lodge, Horsham, next month. The scheme is being developed by Saxon Weald and the homes are being built to very high standards of sustainable construction.
A further 10 new affordable homes will be completed at Trinity Fields, Lower Beeding, in the spring. These are being provided by Hastoe Housing Association and will be allocated to Lower Beeding households in need.
Thirteen homes for local people in Ashington, owned and managed by English Rural Housing Association, are also due for completion in the spring.
Both of the village schemes and the homes at Bryce Lodge have been partly funded by Horsham District Council through contributions to affordable housing provided by developers.
Another 135 affordable homes are in the early stages of construction and 70 more are about to start on site.
Cllr Ian Howard said: “It is very pleasing to see, at last, an increase in the number of affordable houses.”
