Housing partnerships bring together the social housing sector – including housing associations and local authorities – to work in partnership with Mayoral Combined Authorities, Homes England and other stakeholders to deliver growth, better places, and new homes. They enable social housing providers to collaborate with other sectors, such as health and education, to meet local priorities.  

Devolution is accelerating and Mayors are gaining more power over funding for social and affordable homes, warm, green homes and regeneration. Regional collaboration and a partnership approach is essential if housing providers are to have influence and make the most of the opportunities devolution presents to make a positive difference.  

The impact of housing partnerships goes beyond the homes they provide. They’re major employers, driving economic growth by investing billions, and are anchor institutions rooted in local communities.  

Strong locally led housing partnerships across the North are where devolution meets delivery. And where housing drives growth, transforms places, and unlocks the North’s potential.
