Social Rented Housing: Standards
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the review of the Decent Homes Standard, whether the Government plans to provide funding to local authorities and other social housing providers to meet the new standard.
- Answer
-
The Social Housing White Paper announced a review of the Decent Homes Standard to consider whether it needs to be updated to ensure it is delivering what is needed for safety and decency now, including on energy efficiency and green spaces.
As a first step, the review will consider the case for change. If the evidence demonstrates that we need to revise the Standard, we will consider new criteria as a second stage of the review.
