Some local authorities who cannot get grant funding are seeking development partnerships with RPs

At The Housing Community Summit in September, Jonathan Goldstraw of Hyde revealed that his organisation had been approached by councils with development programmes but who cannot access SAHP funding due to their non-compliant rating against the Consumer Standards.  These local authorities want to keep building new homes due to high unmet need and the pressures of providing temporary accommodation.  At the time, the discussions were still at a very early stage.
