The social housing regulator is calling on housing
associations to properly consult tenants before disposing of properties or
making a change in management, after warning some have not been “upfront” about
potential risks. The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) is consulting on a
“strengthened” Tenant Involvement and Empowerment Standard following a failure
by some housing associations seeking to sell properties or making management changes
to properly consult with tenants. From 6 April, as part of the deregulatory
package designed by government, housing associations will no longer require the
regulator’s approval to dispose of stock. Read more on the HCA website.
