Housing services cross the boundary between logistics and community-shaping, with strict legislative requirements and great political variation. Housing policy and management runs from multi-million pound transactions to graffiti removal, from critical gas safety to customer insight and communications. More than any other service area, it is local government in a nutshell. We understand how critical public housing is in shaping an area and a community, the many organisational challenges faced, and the pressures on housing services from homelessness to rent collection. Our team have expertise in specific areas but also see housing work in a much broader local context – and see the potential for housing to lead community and physical regeneration and improvement.
