Recommendation 5

Deferred
Paragraph: 39
Publish longer-term funding plans for social housing retrofitting and private investment beyond 2025.
Recommendation
We also reaffirm the conclusion of our Local Government and Net Zero report that the Government should set out its longer-term funding plans beyond 2025, and to encourage and outline the share of funding for retrofitting it anticipates will come from The Finances and Sustainability of the Social Housing Sector 43 private investment. The Government has acted on our recommendation to encourage the UK Infrastructure Bank to support private financing of retrofitting: it should now investigate how to bring in other sources of private financing.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government agrees on the importance of understanding and scrutinising the for-profit social housing sector, outlining actions like recruiting specialist staff and undertaking a 2024-25 review of its knowledge. It does not, however, commit to setting out longer-term funding plans for retrofitting beyond 2025 or investigating new sources of private financing for this purpose.
