<p>The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities operates two schemes offering
financial support for registered providers of social housing to remediate unsafe cladding
on buildings over 18 metres in height.</p><p>Under its Social Sector ACM fund, the
Department has committed £400 million to support registered providers of social housing
to remove and replace unsafe ACM cladding on buildings over 18 metres, of which £277
million has been allocated.</p><p>Under its £4.5 billion Building Safety Fund, the
Department has to date committed £133 million to support registered providers of social
housing to remove and replace unsafe non-ACM cladding on buildings over 18 metres.
Registered providers of social housing are able to apply for support under the Building
Safety Fund under the following conditions:</p><ul><li>To meet the cost of remediation
where a registered provider of social housing becomes financially unviable due to
the cost of remediation.</li><li>To provide funding equivalent to the amount which
providers would otherwise be entitled to pass on to leaseholders, including shared
owners.</li></ul><p>The Department continues to work closely with Registered Providers
of social housing to look at ways to make sure that buildings with unsafe cladding
are remediated quickly and proportionately.</p><p> </p>
