East Midlands Councils is working to support Local Authorities' enabling role and to co-ordinate action on affordable housing. We have published a range of resources. We also run a Strategic Housing Network and offer a range of training opportunities.
Action on affordable housing
EMC's Affordable Housing Task & Finish Group was set up in response to concerns that without significant effort by all players in the housing delivery chain, delivery of affordable housing in the East Midlands would be severely constrained over the next few years due to the reduced availability of public subsidy. It has examined how councils in the East Midlands could increase the delivery of affordable housing and has produced a Prospectus on Affordable Housing and the East Midlands Declaration on Affordable Housing. EMC also worked with the CIH East Midlands Regional Committee to jointly publish good practice case studies which have increase the delivery of affordable housing. Details about the Task Group and its work are available here.
