East London Housing Partnership
The East London Housing Partnership is one of London’s five
housing sub-regions. Its membership comprises the housing
departments of eight London boroughs (Barking & Dagenham, City
of London, Havering, Hackney, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and
Waltham Forest).
The purpose of the partnership is to work collectively on
housing strategy, delivery of housing programmes, sharing good
practice and representing East London’s interest at a London and
national level.
The East London Housing Partnership Board
comprises the elected lead member for housing for each member
authority and its housing director. They meet quarterly to discuss
both strategic and operational issues and oversees the progress of
priorities identified in the affordable
housing investment framework (PDF, 936k) and housing
strategy.
The heads of service meet every six weeks
to discuss the work programme. We also have a number of sub-groups
of local authority and registered social landlord officers that
work on specific areas of work such as:
- housing development
- homelessness
- housing allocations
- black and minority ethnic strategy
- policy development
- private sector housing
