answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2018 answer text <p>It is only right that tenants of social housing expect their homes to be safe and decent. In England, all registered providers of social housing must comply with the regulatory standards set by the independent Regulator of Social Housing. This includes the requirement that they meet all the relevant legal health and safety requirements for the occupants in their homes, and that tenants’ homes meet the government’s Decent Homes Standard and continue to maintain their homes to at least this standard. They must also provide a cost-effective repairs and maintenance service that responds to the needs of, and offers choices to, tenants and has the objective of getting repairs and improvements right the first time.</p><p>Non-decent homes made up 13 per cent of all social housing in England in 2016 – down from 20 per cent in 2010. We are committed to ensuring that the Decent Homes Standard is demanding enough and delivers the right standards for social housing alongside other tenures. That is why, in our recent Green Paper on social housing, we asked if there are changes to what constitutes a decent home we should consider and if we need additional measures to make sure social homes are safe and decent. The consultation will close on 6 November 2018.</p><p>In terms of new build, all grant funded affordable housing must meet minimum criteria set by local authorities, and independent authorities in the design and quality of housing.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 15/10/2018 15:30:04 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

This ground breaking announcement will enable councils to build up to 10,000 homes per year in the short term, with potential to go even further over time.</p><p>In addition, local authorities can bid alongside housing associations for the £9 billion Affordable Homes Programme to build affordable homes. We are also providing a longer term rent deal for 5 years from 2020 to provide local authorities with a stable investment environment to deliver new homes and we have consulted on options for allowing local authorities more flexibility in the use of their Right to Buy receipts, including extending the time limit for spending Right to Buy receipts from three years to five years for existing receipts.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 12/10/2018 14:19:15 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
