Maximising impact to deliver dynamic neighbourhoods…

Social landlords need to harness their power and potential to regenerate communities and transform lives.

The need for landlords to work in partnership with residents and other stakeholders to make the right investment and service choices in neighbourhoods has never been greater. It requires a new emphasis on asset investment and in maximising the impact of service delivery and resource input at a local level. Asset management, housing and neighbourhood management teams need to work together to make sure that efficient and effective decision making frameworks and implementation strategies and plans are in place.

Ultimately, the long term aim must be for good quality homes of the right size and type in sustainable, viable neighbourhoods that people want to live in, effectively and properly managed at a cost that can be afforded.

But how do you know, and how can you demonstrate that you are doing the right things in the right way to deliver what’s needed?

At Housing dynamics, our experience in neighbourhoods has been built up over many years with Richard Medley playing an instrumental part in delivering a new national methodology and working model that culminated in the development and launch of the CIH Neighbourhood Working Charter and Accreditation in 2017.

Building on this experience we can help you:

  • Review and evaluate your approach to neighbourhood investment and interventions, including through a ‘deep dive’ review
  • Devise and implement area or estate based regeneration strategies based around robust appraisal of options in partnership with residents
  • Develop and introduce a new way of working in neighbourhoods that suits your organisation and your operating context
  • Put in place key measures and systems against which your organisation’s performance in delivering effective and efficient neighbourhood impact can be assessed
  • Deliver real cost savings through the introduction of new neighbourhood management and investment approaches and service delivery models
