Regulator of Social Housing

Add article description

The Regulator of Social Housing regulates registered providers of social housing in England. This function was transferred from the Homes and Communities Agency in October 2018. Until April 2012 it was performed by the Tenant Services Authority. It is sponsored by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

It maintains a list of registered social housing providers.

It has challenged the business model of some providers where rent income from housing benefit payments is less than lease expenditure.[1]

In November 2022 it reduced the financial viability grading for 19 housing associations, because of higher inflation and borrowing costs, and a weakening housing market.[2]
