The investment required to enable homes to meet the Standard, also provides a significant opportunity to generate and retain prosperity for local communities, through the creation of jobs, training and apprenticeships in the supply chain.
The Standards outline what social landlords are expected to comply with. It is expected that all homes should be of high quality, be healthy to live in and meet community, family and individual needs of tenants. Social landlords are actively encouraged to engage with their tenants to shape their programme of works and to take account of feedback from other tenants’ lived experience of retrofits, in order to improve how homes can be efficiently and effectively maintained, upgraded and decarbonised in future.
