The Housing Corporation has four core objectives as set out in our Corporate Plan:

• More quality homes
• Improving landlord performance
• Providing expertise
• Building a can-do culture

We work within the overall policy framework set by the Government to develop policies that will help deliver these objectives.

The Corporation is also a key contributor to national and regional housing policy.  We work closely with a range of other organisations including the National Housing Federation, the Chartered Institute of Housing, the Audit Commission and English Partnerships.

Our expertise and experience is based upon:

• A pivotal role in translating Government policy into delivery of housing development and services;
• Access to rich data-sets in respect of the housing association sector covering development, lettings, finance and management performance;
• A unique position in contributing to national, regional and local housing policy, including the work of Regional Housing Boards and sub-regional partnerships; and
• A tradition of evidence-based policy supported by the Innovation and Good Practice research programme
