Building More Council Homes: Insights, Challenges, and Support You Can Access Now
How can your council build the capability, confidence and capacity needed to deliver more homes, now and in the future?
Is your council looking to build more homes? Whether you are starting out, scaling up or trying to unblock delivery challenges, this webinar is for you. With increasing pressure on councils to accelerate housebuilding and limited capacity across the sector, understanding the support available has never been more important.
Local Partnerships and the Local Government Association’s (LGA)Council Housebuilding Support Service (CHoSS), funded by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) as part of the government’s ambition to build 1.5 million homes, are hosting a webinar to share what we’re hearing from councils and how we can help them explore, develop or progress their approach to housebuilding.
Drawing on our early engagement with councils, we’ll explore the most common challenges and the practical support available to you through CHoSS to build confidence, capability and capacity.
You’ll take away:
a clear overview of the CHoSS and Local Partnerships offer
understand the key challenges emerging across the country
hear real examples of support already in action
how the CHoSS self-assessment helps you access the right help
CHoSS is open to all councils (Housing Revenue Account and non-Housing Revenue Account) including those exploring new delivery or stocking options. Support can cover areas such as HRAs and business planning, delivery models, governance, pipeline development, organisational readiness and workforce needs. We will also draw on local practice to illustrate how different councils are approaching similar issues.
