Decent Homes
The Decent Homes programme is a £300 million project aimed at bringing every Ealing
Homes property up to the Government's Decent Homes Standard.
Here you can find further information about what the Decent Homes process means for you, how we
assess your home, how we might improve your home, when the work will begin and what to expect when
the work has finished.
What does 'Decent Homes' mean?
The Government has stated that all local council housing must achieve its Decent Homes
Standard by 2010.
This means all homes must be warm, weatherproof, be in sound structural repair and have a
reasonably modern kitchen and bathroom.
A Decent Home is one that:
- Meets the current minimum legal standard for housing
- Is in a reasonable state of repair
- Has reasonably modern facilities, like kitchens and bathrooms
- Has heating and insulation.
To find out more about these Government standards please visit the website - Communities and Local Government.
