Further information on this upcoming national study due for publication in Spring 2009
In January 2008 HQN was commissioned by the Audit Commission to undertake a review of literature, data, knowledge and activity on the theme of ‘the approach to strategic housing’.
This review will inform the scope of an Audit Commission national study, which will seek to support improved performance in both the strategic approach and the housing activity which is directed by this. National studies1 aim to improve local public services ‘through independent authoritative analysis of national evidence and local practice’, identifying practice that works, highlighting emerging findings and examining national trends to influence local practice and national policy.
This review also makes recommendations for action that other agencies could usefully undertake.
