PI's: New Supply (Social Housing)
Regulator for Social Housing: New Supply (Social Housing)
RSH 204: New supply delivered (Social housing units)
Rationale, Definition & Worked Example
Below you can find information regarding the rationale, definition and formula for this performance indicator. This includes a worked example to demonstrate how this indicator should be calculated.
Rationale
The regulators supply metric sets out the number of new social housing units that have been acquired or developed in the year as a proportion of total social housing units owned.
Definition
Housing supply delivered as a percentage of stock owned, during the period April – March .
Formula
(A / B) x 100
A = [Total social housing units developed or newly built units acquired in-year (owned)
(Social rent general needs housing (excluding Affordable Rent), Affordable Rent general needs housing, social rent supported housing and housing for older people (excluding Affordable Rent), Affordable Rent supported housing and housing for older people, Low Cost Home Ownership, care homes, other social housing units, Social leasehold)]
B = Total social housing units owned at period end (social units as defined in numerator)
MHCLG definition of completion: In principle, a dwelling is regarded as completed when it becomes ready for occupation or when a completion certificate is issued whether it is in fact occupied or not. In practice, there are instances where the timing could be delayed and some completions are missed for example as no completion certificate was requested by the owner.
Newly-built acquired properties includes new dwellings built where construction is carried out by another entity (such as newly-built S106 acquisitions).
A unit completed by a joint venture with a private sector partner should be counted as a whole unit. A unit completed by a joint venture with another registered provider should be counted as a whole unit only by the provider that will be managing the unit (to avoid double counting)

Worked Example
New social housing units delivered in the year = 40
Total social housing units owned at year end = 1,000
Calculation:
40 ÷ 1,000 × 100 = 4%
