Measuring progress in improving social housing in Wales

The findings

The findings show that, in terms of overall compliance with the standard, 78% of housing association homes (including the recent stock transfers) can meet the standard by 2012/13. 87% of local authority homes can meet the standard by 2012/13. This excludes those with no votes and those going to ballot. 38%(r) of local authority homes can meet WHQS by 2012/13. This includes those with no votes and those balloting.

(r) Figure revised from 39% to 38% following revision to figures for Isle of Anglesey Council.

The results for housing associations show that for those associations working to the 2012 deadline (i.e the Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) that have not been given an extension beyond the 2012 deadline), 86% of their homes are likely to meet the standard by 2012/13. By 2016/17 performance will have reached 98% for all RSLs.

All five of the housing associations with an extended deadline for meeting the standard until 2014/15 will have 100% of their homes meeting the standard across all of the key components.
