Scrutiny of Scottish Housing Regulator
Created: 23/09/2024
News/Events Category: Consultations
The Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) is an independent Non-Ministerial Department, established by the Housing (Scotland) Act 2010.
Its objective is to safeguard and promote the interests of:
- Around 600,000 tenants who live in homes provided by social landlords
- Over 120,000 owners who received services from social landlords
- Around 40,000 people and their families who experience homelessness and seek help from local authorities
- Around 2,000 Gypsy/Travellers who can use official sites provided by social landlords
The main functions of the SHR are to:
- Keep a publicly available register of social landlords
- Monitor, assess and regularly report on all social landlords’ performance of housing activities and on registered social landlords’ financial well-being and standards of governance
- Take action, where necessary, to protect the interests of tenants and other service users
The SHR regulates 158 registered social landlords (RSLs) and the housing activities of Scotland’s 32 local authorities. The SHR is independent of the Scottish Ministers and is directly accountable to the Scottish Parliament.
The Committee will be considering the SHR’s annual report later this year and to support this work we want to hear from you about your experience of the SHR.
