On 14th August 2018, the government published the social housing green paper (A new deal for social housing). A consultation was launched alongside the paper and will run until the 6th November 2018.
Although the proposals in the paper will only affect registered providers, there may be implications for the wider membership – for example the proposed review of the Decent Homes Standard and the development of affordable homes.
For more details on the green paper, please refer to our previous news article – A New Deal for Social Housing
The Almshouse Association has composed a draft response to the consultation which can be found here.Â
Some almshouses charities may also wish to respond independently and may find our draft useful as a template.

Deadline for feedback: 31st October 2018 – Closed
