decent homes

The government has announced a new decent homes allocation for Haringey over the next four years. There is a significant reduction in the money available for us to undertake decent homes in the next two years.

In 2011/12, funding is reduced by 66% and in 2012/13, funding is reduced by 50%. Over the next two years, there is £50m less for decent homes than originally anticipated. These first two years of our allocation (2011/12 and 2012/13) are guaranteed from the government. The following two years (£34m of funding) are provisional.

The overall reduction in the government grant means we will have significantly fewer resources for decent homes than were originally allocated to us in 2008. Given this reduction, we have agreed with Haringey Council to review the outstanding work and consider the priorities for capital investment for future years.

All work in current contracts will continue as normal. We are now reviewing all work in years four and five of the programme and we will not be starting work until this has been completed. We will write to residents again once we know more about how work in your home is affected by these announcements.

In the meantime, read our frequently asked questions for further information.
