HCA Reviews Regulatory Framework

The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) has opened the debate on how the social housing sector should be regulated as it becomes increasingly diverse.  The HCA has published a discussion document which invites feedback on proposed changes to the core Regulatory Framework that are designed to ensure effective regulation of registered providers and the protection of social housing assets in a more complex and risky operating environment.  These changes will enable the regulator to deliver its statutory objectives more effectively whilst maintaining the confidence of investors, tenants and other key stakeholders in the sector at a time when providers are diversifying into a broader range of activities and the number of new companies registering to provide social housing is increasing.  Read more on the HCA website.
