Summary

In the 2000 Spending Review, a Public Service Agreement (PSA) target was set to: ensure that all social housing meets standards of decency by 2010, by reducing the number of households living in social housing that did not meet these standards by a third between 2001 and 2004, with most of the improvements taking place in the most deprived local authority areas as part of a comprehensive regeneration strategy. This was one of the floor targets announced in A new commitment to Neighbourhood Renewal: National Strategy Action Plan which sets out the Government's approach to tackling deprivation in England's poorest communities.

The 2002 Spending Review renewed the commitment to making all social housing decent by 2010. The target was also expanded to cover vulnerable households in the private sector. The amended target is: by 2010, to bring all social housing into decent condition, with most of the improvement taking place in deprived areas, and increase the proportion of private housing in decent condition occupied by vulnerable groups. This document is a summary of how the target will be delivered.
