East End Homes: Finance

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he has had discussions with the social housing regulator on the financial viability of East End Homes.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

MHCLG ministers have not had discussions with the independent Regulator of Social Housing (The Regulator) about East End Homes.

All registered social housing providers are required to deliver the standards set by the Regulator. Those standards seek to ensure a financially viable and well-governed sector, which can continue to increase the provision of social housing. In May 2023, the Regulator determined that East End Homes was non-compliant with its Governance Standard. It continues to engage with the provider and monitors its progress in addressing the issues previously identified.
