Purpose: Cabinet is recommended to note progress against the existing Housing Compact

Content: Cabinet noted progress outlined in the report against the existing Housing Compact.   Options & Alternatives Considered It is not a statutory requirement to have a Housing Compact. However, the learning from previous working arrangements with housing associations is that the Council, associations and residents’benefit from a more structured partnership working arrangement to help deliver positive housing outcomes for residents.   The Housing Compact 2024 - 2029 is another step change in the partnership working arrangement between the Council and housing associations. It is a more collaborative, flexible and adaptable way of working together to provide good outcomes for local residents as set out in the Housing and other borough strategies.
