Decent Homes Standard Reform

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is reforming the Decent Homes Standard to apply to temporary accommodation and the private rented sector, with implementation by 2035. The reform includes interim targets for compliance, hazard assessment requirements, and data collection on temporary accommodation quality. Related bills address housing standards for refugees and asylum seekers, with concerns raised about ensuring basic facilities in temporary housing.
