This coming Wednesday is the first meeting of the housing investment partnership. The aim of the group is to ensure the strategic and financial arrangements are in place to deliver the four outcomes of the Joint Housing Strategy. These are:

•  Creating quality homes
• Securing affordability and choice
• Reaching out to those in housing need
• Creating safe and strong communities

The group is made up of myself, Jane Duncan from North Lincolnshire Homes, chair of North Lincolnshire Landlords forum, voluntary sector representation and private sector members.  The board will meet quarterly and will discuss a number of issues which are going on within the region, such as youthbuild, Advance Crosby and temporary accommodation for homeless families.

I am confident the group will be a success.
