In April 2013 the Social Housing Regulator (the Regulator) launched a discussion document on ‘Protecting social housing assets in a more diverse sector’. The document explored whether the current Regulatory Framework needed strengthening for a sector experiencing significant changes in its core business model and diversifying into new areas, whilst at the same time new types of profit making registered provider were emerging. This statutory consultation, the first under the auspices of the Homes and Communities Agency Regulation Committee, sets out the Regulator’s formal proposals in the light of the responses to the discussion document. This consultation gives landlords, tenants, lenders and others who have an interest in the social housing sector, an opportunity to influence how the social housing regulator will amend the Regulatory Framework. Comments are requested by 19 August 2014.

A working paper on the design of a new model for providing affordable housing through recoverable government investments. Under this scheme the government would provide repayable investment to developers to fund new-build homes that must be let at affordable rent for at least seven years. After this time, and only when the government investment has been repaid, the provider will be able to decide whether to keep the property as affordable housing or sell or rent the property at market value.
