Neighbourhoods and communities strategy – UK

Introduction

A strategy for how the Housing Corporation, housing associations and their partners, including residents, can work towards achieving mixed, sustainable and successful communities.

Description

The strategy sets out how the Housing Corporation's will help deliver sustainable neighbourhoods and communities and the role it sees for social housing providers as key partners in delivering the vision. The Corporation will address five key areas:

partnership working between housing associations, local authorities and others
the delivery and sustaining of mixed communities
the role of housing associations as social entrepreneurs and neighbourhood-level delivery agents in addition to their core housing role
tackling the anti-social behaviour problem and delivering the Respect agenda
empowering communities.

The strategy proposes a new Communities Standard for housing associations – enabling housing associations, with communities, to measure their contribution towards the shared objective of making communities decent places to live.
