Council to Consult On the Future of Its ALMO

Brent Council's Executive has agreed to consult local residents on future arrangements for ownership, investment and management of its housing stock. In light of changes to the funding regime for council housing, an independent review was commissioned earlier this year by Brent in order to consider options for the future of its housing stock which is currently managed by Brent Housing Partnership (BHP) - the Council's ALMO. At its July meeting, the Council's Executive agreed the authority should retain its housing stock and consult residents on a new 'optimised ALMO' model of housing management run by the ALMO. The new model would build on the strengths of BHP’s existing approach, and specifically the emphasis that BHP place on resident engagement. Read more on the Brent Council website.
