<p>The Government is committed to improving the building stock as part of reaching
our net zero targets. We recognise the importance of providing industry with certainty
over demand in future years in order for them to have confidence to invest and grow
their businesses.</p><p>We are working to provide that certainty and have therefore
confirmed that the delivery dates for Green Homes Grant Local Authority Delivery scheme
and the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund Demonstrator will extend into 2021/22
to provide assurance that work will be available. Outside of support schemes, we are
creating the regulatory environment to drive retrofit and on 30<sup>th</sup> September
we published a consultation on further improving the energy performance of privately
rented homes over the 2020s, which provides a clear signal on how Government is committed
to improving the housing stock.</p>
