Indicative funding allocations for the Tenant Services Authority between 2009-11 is as follows:
£ million 2009-10 35.623 2010-11 35.173
This excludes any additional resources that may be allocated for specific initiatives at a later date. Following completion of the exercise to disaggregate the Housing Corporation spend, there was some late adjustments to the 2009-10 TSA budget. The £35.623 million is the latest position and this is reflected in the information submitted to the HM Treasury.
Budget allocations for the period after 2010-11 will be set as part of the next comprehensive spending review. Final budgets will be agreed with the TSA on an annual basis.

Section 114 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 allows the Secretary of State to make an order to bring local authorities within the Tenant Services Authority's regulatory regime. We intend to publish a draft order for consultation later this year. Following consideration of consultation responses we intend to lay an order and, subject to parliamentary approval, we expect that the TSA will be regulating local authority landlords from April 2010.
