    Housing Associations Annual Performance Report

    Housing Revenue Account (HRA) budget and rent review 2026/27

    Report of the Cabinet Member for Better Homes

     

    With nearly 23,000 tenants and 10,000 leaseholders, Camden is the fifth largest local authority social landlord in London and the eleventh largest in England. In our role as landlord we have a crucial role in resident’s lives by providing high quality homes for tenants, ensuring our estates support people’s health, and supporting our communities. The Housing and Repairs Transformation programme and the Housing Investment Strategy are critical to fulfilling this role.

     

    The national funding system for social housing is broken. Rent policy decisions made by central government over time have resulted in £201m of lost rental income since 2016. At the same time cost pressures in the form of inflation, interest, fire & building safety, damp & mould and disrepair have mounted up. Together the lost rental income and cost pressures have created a severe financial challenge.

     

    This report sets out how the Council intends to deliver on its strategic objectives for housing in the increasingly challenging financial climate that the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) is operating in. It sets out a balanced budget and proposed levels of rent and service charges for the financial year 2026/27.

     

    The report is coming to the Cabinet because the Council is required to set a balanced HRA budget for each year and set levels of rent and charges for the HRA.
