- 3. What drives our sub regional approach? • From early days, housing leads committed, support of a network of groups • Not unusual in experiencing… –Extreme housing pressure, with diverse symptoms –Determined to understand issues and make links –Share and spread the load, in time, effort, funding
- 4. Shared housing agenda • Deliver new homes to economic success • Enable better health and well-being through housing and support • Create mixed and cohesive communities • Improve standards in existing homes and encourage “best use” • Extend housing choice, meet housing need • Prevent and tackle homelessness • Promote benefits of good partnership working

- 12. Steps to delivery • Much of this work is based on consultation, networking and feedback • Other projects include – Annual private rents review and monthly hometrack rental review, responding to enablers and RSLs need for data to inform “the 80% debate” – New development surveys began so could learn lessons from Cambourne, now looking to learn some wider lessons from 6+ surveys
- 13. Benefits of a joint approach • Clear investment priorities (LIP) • Lean approach to strategy makes it more flexible • Focussing on the benefits of housing to other agendas • Housing recognised as vital to a healthy economy • Data to support sub-regional discussion, planning, communication, adaptability…
- 14. Evolution • Data collection and assembly is the first step • The data becomes a catalyst. • Sharing within a group which genuinely listens and learns from a wide range of partners may be the trump card. • Plus there is always more to learn, to absorb, to adapt to… • …perfection is over-rated
