A close relationship between local authorities and housing associations will be crucial to meet housing need, according to a new best practice research guide by the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH).
Building Bridges recommends local authorities and housing associations partner more closely in a number of major areas, including new systems to establish affordability in their areas and jointly-funded systems to manage allocations and lettings.
Local authorities and housing associations across England were interviewed and visited as part of the research guide, which CIH worked with the Association of Retained Council Housing and housing association VIVID to produce.
The authors of the guide are Ross Fraser, Gemma Duggan, from Altair and John Perry, CIH's senior policy adviser.
