<p>The Department is helping landlords refine the estimates of the costs associated with ensuring their buildings are safe. As part of that we continue to engage with landlords, including housing associations, to understand their capacity to deliver these safety improvements. We are aware of the impact these costs might have on housing associations' other plans, but landlords also have an obligation to ensure their buildings are safe. Action has been taken to address buildings with the greatest safety risks associated with ACM cladding and supported funding for the remediation of 140 buildings in the social housing sector through the government’s social sector ACM cladding remediation fund.</p>
