The Department considers the Decent Homes (DH) Standard to be the minimum satisfactory standard for Service Family Accommodation. This is a technical standard for public housing, defined by the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, and is the minimum satisfactory standard for allocation of a home to a Service family. If a home falls below the DH Standard while a family is in residence, the Defence Infrastructure Organistion will take measures to restore it to at least the DH Standard.
