REPORT
The State of Social Housing 2025/26
The UK social housing sector is experiencing significant change across multiple fronts. Investment is returning in substantial ways, while new regulations and rising expectations are reshaping how providers operate. The State of Social Housing 2025/26 gives you a concise, strategic view of this evolving landscape, helping you identify where progress is being made, where gaps remain, and where the pressure points of the next 12 months will emerge.
What the Report Covers
Using Plentific's Four Forces Framework, the report examines how external pressures and internal capabilities combine to shape outcomes for both providers and residents. We break down the review of a complex environment into the four interconnected areas of the framework:
Investment Capacity: the funding commitments and financial constraints that define what's possible for your organisation.
Governance: the current and upcoming regulations setting new standards, timelines, and accountability measures.
Organisational Capability: the leadership, skills, and culture that drive resilience and genuine resident focus.
Systems & Intelligence: the data, automation, and technology that can transform how you deliver services.
