Delivery is already underway, with upgrades recently completed on 1,250 of the poorest-quality homes. Further improvement programmes are progressing across the estate this financial year, including bringing 1,000 previously unavailable homes back online, while targeted works continue to modernise occupied properties.

The Defence Housing Strategy provides a decade-long plan to modernise or rebuild approximately 40,000 military homes to a higher standard. This will ensure there are enough high-quality houses in the right location.
