The data we published in March identified 1,952 buildings in the social sector requiring cladding remediation. Of those, 204 buildings (10%) were reported to have completed works and 525 buildings (27%) were reported to have started works.

Government has funded works in 144 social housing buildings through the Social Sector Cladding Remediation Fund (135 completed and nine underway), 167 buildings through the Building Safety Fund (50 completed and 56 underway), and 36 buildings in the recently launched Cladding Safety Scheme. Buildings may appear in more than one fund.
