The challenges ahead

We would welcome the opportunity to work in partnership with you to face what we see as some of the key challenges facing the social housing sector:
  1. Increasing customer-involvement
  2. Achieving your mission of delivering better places to live while keeping customers involved in the process
  3. Continuing to develop positive working relationships with partners including the Police, Local Authorities and most importantly customers
  4. Delivering additional, non-core services to customers – support, well-being and economic assistance
  5. Achieving Value for Money
We will work with you to achieve the above in the context of
  1. The direction to be taken by the TSA
  2. Limited resources vs increasing responsibilities
  3. The impact of next year’s General Election
  4. Achieving targets on Decent Homes and Energy Efficiency
  5. Developing enough local affordable housing
