social housing
More than at any time during the last 20 years the social
housing landscape is changing dramatically with the creation of the
Homes and Communities Agency and the Tenant Services Authority,
other new measures under the Housing and Regeneration Act and the
increased profile of affordable housing on the political agenda.
Against this of course, is the tremendous pressure on public
funding. These changes place increased demands on the social
housing sector and the goal of our team is to support and advise
you through these challenges.
