Shapps poised to hand HCA role in regulating social housing

摘要

Housing minister Grant Shapps is working up plans to make the Homes and Communities Agency regulate social landlords, averting fears that billions of pounds of lending to the sector would be put at risk.rnShapps is expected to hand the role to the Homes and Communities Agency in a speech to the Chartered Institute of Housing conference in Harrogate next week. The move, which suggests the HCA will survive the "bonfire of the quangos", would also spell the end of the Tenants Services Authority (TSA).
