<p>All social homes should be provided and maintained to a decent standard. Progress
in the social sector has been made. In 2016, 13 per cent of homes were non-decent
compared with 20 per cent in 2010. We are using the Social Housing Green Paper to
consider whether the Decent Homes Standard is demanding enough and delivers the right
standards for social housing alongside other tenures. In respect of the East Midlands,
in June 2018 we announced a strategic partnership between Homes England and East Midlands
Housing, which will see 748 additional affordable homes built in the region by March
2022.</p>
