Effective partnership working enhances levels of openness and engagement and allows us to maximise the contribution that each partner can make to the quality of service delivery, and to the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities.
The social housing sector plays a pivotal role in our joined-up collaborative approach in Renfrewshire which enables us to improve the outcomes for local people. Their continued involvement provides them with an opportunity to directly influence local policy.
There are several elements of governance which support delivery of the Housing Contribution Statement and ensure clear alignment between all elements of local housing strategy:
Integration Joint Board
Strategic Planning Group
Housing as a Health Issue Subgroup
HSCP and Communities and Housing Liaison Group
Housing Providers' Forum
Rapid Rehousing Transition Plan Steering Group
Housing-led Regeneration Partnership Board#
Therefore, the shared outcomes, priorities and actions that are set out in the following sections have been influenced and agreed by the wider partnership.
FLAIR is The Federation of Local Housing Associations in Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire and is a partnership of six housing associations including: Bridgewater, Ferguslie, Linstone, Paisley, Williamsburgh and Barrhead.
FLAIR is a key strategic partner in Renfrewshire and plays an active role in the Strategic Planning Group and chairs the Housing as a Health Issue Subgroup. In addition, each of the local housing associations is a member of the Rapid Rehousing Transition Plan Steering Group and the Housing Providers' Forum.
