<p>The table below provides a breakdown per region of the number of Service Family
Accommodation (SFA) which have been treated for damp and mould, loss of heating, loss
of hot water, loss of water supply, electrical faults, and pest infestation since
1 April 2022.</p><p> </p><p>As previously advised, the damp and mould figures are
provided from February 2023 and issues relating to the loss of heating and hot water
are not recorded separately as boiler faults often affect both.</p><p> </p><p>The
1,674 SFA properties which had been treated for damp and mould was reported as at
10:00 hours on 18 January 2024 from the live reporting system. The end of day final
figure recorded for 18 January 2024 was 1,679, as shown in the table below.</p><p>
