Housing Associations

Supporting leaders across housing

Social housing plays a core role in the everyday life of over 4 million families with their homes provided by a mix of Housing Associations and Local Authorities. Affordable high quality housing is critical to those who cannot afford to buy or rent at market rates and is a foundation for thriving and healthy communities.

We know that Housing Associations and Councils are facing a time of significant challenge and are having to respond at pace to deliver reform. Our wide experience of supporting change in complex.

The Challenges

The challenges facing the organisations and leaders that Tricordant are working with are many and varied but certainly include:

Financial Pressures with decreased Government subsidies, Rent Caps and Increased Borrowing Costs.

Housing Supply and Demand, with demand for affordable housing far outstripping supply, and continued challenges in building New Homes.

Property Quality and Safety withbacklogs of repairs and maintenance work, the need to improve building safety, post-Grenfell, and address damp and mould problems.

Tenant Welfare and Support, with a growing need to support vulnerable tenants with complex needs, tackle Anti-Social Behaviour and support development of safe and harmonious communities. Supported Housing plays a key role in supporting vulnerable people and reducing the resources otherwise needed from the wider health and care system.

Operational and Regulatory Challenges including meeting the requirements of the Regulator of Social Housing, and data management around tenant information.

Organisational design and change, especially after merger, with a need to carefully integrate centralised strategic and systems development with more decentralised operational delivery and support for tenants.

People are critical to service delivery and transformation especially in key specialist areas.

Our Approach

We know that each housing association and local authority has specific and unique challenges. This needs organisation design and development support that is flexible and responsive to local needs, whilst supporting the aims and ambitions of the wider system.

Tricordant are leaders in the field of organisation design and development and offer a range of services where we co-create with you to deliver bespoke support, which will bring your vision to reality with sustainable outcomes.
