Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) has come under intense criticism following the toddler's tragic death, which was found to have been a direct result of prolonged exposure to mould.
Coroner Joanne Kearsley ruled last week that RBH, which owns and manages the Freehold estate where Awaab lived, should have carried out repairs on the property when it knew about mould.
The housing association's chief executive, Gareth Swarbrick has since been sacked, after facing mounting pressure for him to resign.
Housing Secretary Mr Gove has now announced that RBH will be stripped of any new government funding until it can 'prove it is a responsible landlord! The housing group will not be awarded its expected £1m funding from the Affordable Homes Programme (AHP) between 2021 and 2026, or receive any new contracts for new homes until the Regulator of Social Housing has concluded its investigation, Mr Gove revealed.
RBH was allocated £4.7m from the previous AHP between 2016-2021. The government will not stall progress on one active site still being built.
