Housing

Summary

The Secretary of State has commissioned a widespread review of the regulation of social housing.

One of the principal objectives of the review is to identify the regulatory framework which will be most effective in securing high quality service delivery.

We are keen for residents to engage with the review and submit evidence. We see residents as the first of two principal 'customers' of social housing (the other customer being the taxpayers who fund this development and regulation).  We want the regulatory arrangements to ensure that housing services are high quality and value for money and that residents have an effective say in how they are designed and delivered. We also want to explore how residents can play a more influential role in the regulation of social housing.

This paper focuses on issues that we are considering, and that we believe will be important to residents. However we are keen to receive all views on the issues, whether they are consistent with or different from our thoughts. We recognise that we cannot presume that our judgement of this will necessarily be right, and if you feel that our assessment of the issues is incomplete or incorrect, then it is important to us that submissions to the review set out alternative views.

Note: A Discussion Forum has been set-up to give anyone with an interest in the regulation of social housing the chance to discuss any issues pertinent to the Cave Review of Social Housing at http://forum.communities.gov.uk/cavereview.
