Policy Stability to Delivery: What the CSR Means for Housing Finance

Introduction

This week, Centrus shared a briefing with our retainer clients analysing the implications of the recent Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) for housing finance professionals.

With new clarity around rent standards, long-term grant funding, and access to the Building Safety Fund, the CSR marks a pivotal moment for housing associations to reset business plans, re-engage funders, and move forward with renewed strategic focus.

The sector faces both opportunity and expectation: to turn policy stability into tangible delivery amid ongoing market pressures.

We’ve published the full note — “Policy Stability to Delivery: Implications of the CSR for Housing Finance Professionals” — to help wider stakeholders understand what this means and how to respond.
