How do we deliver it?

Where an occupational therapist has assessed a resident, we build the adaptation into the renewal rather than coming back later.

Social homes in England must meet the Decent Homes Standard, enforced through the Regulator of Social Housing's Safety and Quality Standard. A reformed standard, confirmed in January 2026, must be met by 2035 at the latest.
