Introducing its new Corporate Plan for 2019-22 today, the Regulator said it will also focus its resources on embedding its new Regulatory Framework, tenant & resident safety as well as governance and financial health in RSLs.

George Walker, chair of the Scottish Housing Regulator, said: “I am delighted to announce the publication of our new Corporate Plan.

“Our vision is well-run social landlords delivering what tenants and people who are homeless, Gypsy/Travellers and others who use social housing service need and want, and at a price they can afford to pay.

“During our new Regulatory Framework consultation, our stakeholders helped us form the priorities that we will focus on over the next three years.”

He added: “The world that social landlords work in has never been more complex, so we will also remain alert and responsive to emerging issues over the next three years.

“We look forward to continuing to work closely with all our stakeholders to deliver shared goals and I look forward to working with all our people in SHR to deliver this plan.”
