The Government is introducing three housing Bills. The housing (amendment) Bill will amend section 1 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act. Its heads have been approved by the Government and its publication is intended for this session. The housing (miscellaneous provisions) Bill is meant to strengthen the regulatory framework for social housing, including statutorily underpinning the new scheme of housing assistance payments. Its heads are expected shortly and its publication is expected for this year. A second housing (miscellaneous provisions) Bill will be published next year.
