It is estimated that over a million social homes have been improved by the CLG’s Decent Homes Programme, which aims to improve the condition of homes for social housing tenants. But the National Audit Office has warned that there are weaknesses in the information collected by the Department, which has reduced its assurance that value for money was being achieved. A National Audit Office report to Parliament has found that the Government’s Programme has made progress and that, as of April 2009, 86 per cent of homes in the social sector were classed as decent. The Programme has also brought wider benefits such as improved housing management, tenant involvement and employment opportunities.
