To seek Executive agreement to an Action Plan for Fareham Housing. The Action Plan intended to achieve confident compliance with the new Consumer Standards for social housing providers.
As a Registered Provider of social housing, Fareham Borough Council must now comply with new Consumer Standards which came into force on 01 April 2024. The standards introduce a co-regulatory approach with the Regulator of Social Housing and include a set of specific expectations around the safety and quality of homes, transparency and influence for customers, safe and well-maintained neighbourhoods, and a tenancy standard.
An Action Plan for Fareham Housing has been developed, with the objective to achieve confident compliance with the new Standards.
RESOLVED that the Executive agrees that the required revisions, addendums or future amendments to the Council’s Shared Ownership Policy and Processes needed to comply with updated government guidance be delegated to the Director of Housing, following consultation with the Executive Member for Housing.
