Sub Regional Housing
The South West London Housing Partnership (SWLHP) is made up of seven London boroughs: Croydon, Kingston upon Thames, Lambeth, Merton, Richmond upon Thames, Sutton and Wandsworth. Formed in response to the government’s regional approach to the allocation of housing resources, the partnership’s aim is to develop a coherent sub region which will play a major role in achieving the objectives set out in the London Housing Strategy.
The SWLHP has agreed six strategic objectives to guide the partnership’s work in 2008/09. These are:
- Maximise the supply of affordable housing across the sub region overall
- Make best use of existing stock
- Champion environmental issues
- Increase housing options/choices for residents in the sub region
- Maintain a consumer focus ensuring fair access and equality
- Raise standards in practice and services across the sub region.
