Letter to local authorities
Dear Colleague,
I hope this finds you well.
Firstly, I would like to thank you for submitting the COVID-19 monthly returns throughout 2020/21. This has enabled us to report regularly to the Social Housing Resilience Group (SHRG) and interested stakeholders on how the pandemic is impacting on social landlords.
As you will know we wrote to all social landlords on 5 March to advise that, following discussion with stakeholders, the SHRG decided that as we move to recovery there is still value in collecting information and that the frequency should change to a quarterly return. This information will help the SHRG to monitor the potential impact, including financial impact, on landlords and to consider support that landlords may need in the longer term. The SHRG will keep under review the ongoing need for this information, and we will continue to collect the information until the SHRG confirms it no longer requires it.
The SHRG has reviewed the content of the return to ensure that we are only collecting data which it will use to monitor the impact of, and landlords’ recovery out of, the pandemic. The Group agreed that it was appropriate to continue to collect all of the data which was included in the monthly returns, as all of the data remains relevant to its work. The Group also agreed that there was value in expanding the indicators in relation to lets to provide a fuller picture of activity in this area, the impact on timescales for re-lets and on rent lost due to empty properties. Finally, the Group decided to include rental income from Universal Credit, Housing Benefit or Discretionary Housing Payments paid directly to the landlord.
To help landlords prepare, we have listed in Appendix 1 the indicators we will publish in the dashboard and in Appendix 2 the data we will collect in the new form, with changes clearly marked. Almost all of the new indicators are based on existing ARC indicators and will be familiar to landlords. In the form we will ask you to submit cumulative quarterly figures (and not figures for each month within the reporting period).
The first return covers the period 1 April to 30 June 2021. We have extended the submission date for the quarterly returns to 14 working days after the quarter end. The first return is therefore due on 20 July. We will continue to make the form available from the end of the quarter through the Social Landlord Portal and landlords should continue to submit their return via the portal.
Finally, we will continue to publish the full dataset with the exception of RSL cash balances.
Thank you once again for your assistance. If you have any questions on this please contact your lead regulator in the first instance.
