Housing Improvement Programme
Islington Council is addressing serious housing service failings identified by the Regulator of Social Housing through its Housing Improvement Programme.
Islington Council is implementing a Housing Improvement Programme to address a critical C3 regulatory judgment from the Regulator of Social Housing, issued before September 2026. This programme aims to rectify serious failings across six key areas, including outdated stock condition surveys, health and safety data assurance, and a backlog of lift remedial actions, as reported in September 2026.
The programme for Islington Council was launched to enhance housing services for residents and address issues identified by the RSH, such as gaps in tenant needs information and accessibility concerns for tenants in properties managed by Tenant Management Organisations. Separately, Croydon Council's Housing Assurance Board addressed housing operational performance in April 2026, focusing on improving repairs and customer satisfaction.
