Currently the definition of 'small social housing providers from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) goes up to organisations with 1,000 homes. This means that very small providers with, for example, 40 homes face disproportionate and prohibitive costs and administrative burdens to register and be properly regulated. What can you do to help simplify the regulatory requirements and costs for small community-led housing organisations as registered providers of affordable housing, to help them to access grants, bearing in mind the Government's intention to move regulation out of the HCA to a new standalone regulator?
