Support Needed for Non Executive Directors

The Tenants Services Authority (TSA) has announced the demise of the green light method of asessing how well housing association meet the regulatory code. The TSA has written to all associations  to inform them that Regulatory Judgements (RJs) will replace Housing Corporation Assessments.

Peter Marsh will be touring the country as part of his national conversation consultation exercise on the new regulatory code . The TSA consultation will include  5 million households and their landlords - including Local Authorities, ALMOs and housing associations . Until the new standards are adopted the new  RJs will:

  • comment on RSLs’ performance on Viability, Governance and Management of Service Delivery;
  • offer judgements under a series of headings – which will initially remain the same as under the previous regime, but without the accompanying traffic lights; and
  • no longer comment on delivery of the National Affordable Housing Programme, as this judgement is now clearly within the remit of the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA)
