Recommendation
We recommend that the Government provide an update on social housing providers’ access to funds for building safety remediation and commit to ensuring they have exactly the same access to funds as private landlords. It should also provide an assessment of the total cost of remediating the social housing stock, and the gap between this and the funds that are available, from whatever source, to carry out the remediation work. The Government should then work with the sector to identify how the funding gap can be bridged. We also call on the Government to provide an update on the impact of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund and on the ability of social housing providers to decarbonise their housing stock.
