Scottish housing regulator’s plan for next 3 years released.

The Scottish Housing Regulator has unveiled its strategic plan for the next three years, outlining key priorities and objectives for the period 2024/25 onwards.

The Regulator’s main aims over the upcoming years include:

  • Executing its core functions – monitoring, evaluating, and regularly reporting on the performance of social landlords, while also ensuring the good governance and financial stability of Registered Social Landlords (RSLs). The regulator will step in where necessary to uphold standards.
  • Engaging with tenants and service users, utilizing their feedback to shape effective regulation, and empowering them by providing valuable performance information about their landlord.
  • Collaborating closely with and listening to all stakeholders to comprehend the challenges they encounter, and to cultivate a broader awareness of the present and potential risks that could impact social housing.
  • Being a proficient, effective, and transparent public entity, and contributing positively to the Scottish Government’s reform agenda for public services.

George Walker, chair of the Scottish Housing Regulator, observed, “The forthcoming years are expected to remain uncertain, volatile, and challenging. This encompasses ongoing financial difficulties for many tenants, and social landlords contending with cost inflation, elevated interest rates, and constrained public finances.”

“This difficult backdrop is the environment where social landlords are addressing urgent issues such as homelessness, decarbonising homes, tackling fuel poverty, and ensuring tenant and resident safety while delivering high-quality services,” added Mr. Walker.

He continued, “This environment will test the resilience, capacity, and confidence of social landlords as they strive to meet the needs of their tenants and service users.

“We will collaborate with our stakeholders to determine feasible priorities for sustainable progress in social housing over the next three years. Furthermore, we will continue working closely with all stakeholders to safeguard the interests of tenants and others by promoting social housing and achieving common objectives.

“Our strategy outlines our commitments to fulfilling our statutory mission and duties over the next three years leading up to March 2027, as well as the broader impact we aim to have in the social housing sector and as a public body in Scotland.”
