Government has announced today (20th June 2018) a review to look at how selective licensing is used and find out how well it is working. Click here for further details
The review will see independent commissioners gather evidence from local authorities and bodies representing landlords, tenants and housing professionals. The reviewā€™s findings will be reported in spring 2019. There will be an update on progress in autumn this year.
The Almshouse Association is acutely aware of the detrimental financial effect selective licensing has had on almshouse charities and will respond appropriately. In order to properly evidence our response to Government, the Association would be grateful if almshouse charities that have been impacted by selective licensing would contact Chris TargowskiĀ – christargowski@almshouses.org directly.
