HQN consultancy work
Communicating strategy, policy and plan-making
We provide a wide range of bespoke services to local authorities, housing and housing support providers, sub-regional and regional partnerships and agencies. If you are seeking support around non-landlord housing services it's likely we will be able to help.
We aim to support you to put individuals and communities at the heart of housing and maximise the contribution that housing makes to health and wellbeing, and to stronger, safer and prosperous communities.
We have expertise and experience in enabling and directing delivery:
- Reviewing and developing local and sub-regional housing plans and policies, translating strategic direction into the framework for delivery
- Developing outcome-based commissioning plans, incorporating option appraisals and value for money assessments of the full range of housing activity, from homelessness and housing support to social and private sector management and investment
- Facilitating conversations with a range of delivery and funding partners, from housing associations and the regional housing board to the National Offender Management Service and primary care trusts.
In addition to overarching housing strategies and plans, we specialise in plan-and policy-making for the following:
- Affordable housing supply and quality
- Homelessness (prevention and response)
- Access (allocations and lettings systems)
- Housing support
- Private sector housing
- Specialist housing.
