Where landlords have concerns about funding essential fire safety measures, they should approach us or the regulator, as appropriate, as soon as possible to discuss the position. Where works have been advised by local fire services to be essential to ensure the fire safety of a building, for local authorities we will ensure that current restrictions on the use of financial resources will not prevent them going ahead. The regulator of social housing can consider other options for housing associations. Any support offered would not include general improvements or enhancements to buildings which go beyond this. We will deal with any requests on a case by case basis.<\/p>
Following a letter sent on 31 July to all local authority and housing association Chief Executives, my Department has been contacted by 27 local authorities to discuss the position on funding. The regulator of social housing has also written separately to housing associations. No housing associations have contacted the Regulator so far. It would not be appropriate to provide details of each case whilst discussions are on-going.<\/p>"}

The European Union Solidarity Fund retrospectively reimburses Member States affected by major natural disasters for 2.5 per cent to 6 per cent of the costs incurred depending on the scale of the damage. Under EU rules, the fund can only be used to reimburse public sector costs of responding to emergencies and subsequent recovery, so cannot be paid directly to individual households or businesses. Member States can apply to the European Commission for this funding but must meet the conditions placed upon them by the European Commission to receive it.<\/em><\/p>"}
