Government to Set up Body to Support Council House Building

The government will be working with Keith House and Natalie Elphicke to implement a Housing Finance Institute, as recommended by their review of the role of local authorities in housing supply, in conjunction with the Local Government Association and business. Funded privately, this new body will address the skills and knowledge gap in delivering local authority housing identified as one of the key recommendations of their recent report into local authority housing. This will enable the provision of dedicated support in areas such as setting up and managing public private sector joint ventures or developing capacity and skills in areas such as land assembly or developing investment vehicles.
