Moving Share Homes for Ukraine data's code to open source mhclgdigital.blog.gov.uk/2026/09/18/m... Shiny new GitHub repo github.com/communitiesu... This is the system that MHCLG built in-house instead of paying £10 million to continue using Palantir's Foundry software #govtech #techpolicy

Working in the open can be daunting! All your mistakes would be there for the world to see in a public code repository, with nowhere to hide... However, open source code is part of how we build software in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and a key part of the government Service Manual for digital services ("make source code open and reusable"). Sharing our code means that other government departments and people in outside organisations can benefit from our work, saving time and money.
