Housing leaders from across Scotland joined the Housemark Scotland Leadership Forum on 5 December, to discuss the most pressing issues impacting the sector. From rising homelessness to funding pressures and housing supply challenges, the forum explored practical solutions and collaborative approaches to tackle: - Regulatory challenges – meeting quality standards and improving tenant safety. - The housing emergency – bridging the gap between supply and need. - Financial pressures – rising maintenance costs and budget constraints. - Housing delivery – finding innovative ways to build more homes. - Tenant engagement – putting tenants at the centre of decision-making. Bold action, collaboration, and innovative thinking will be essential to overcome these challenges and deliver positive change for Scotland’s communities.

A big thank you to the team at Inside Housing and John Churchett for the hospitality at the MMC Housebuilding Roundtable this week and for assembling such an interesting panel who provided a great blend of vision, leadership and pragmatism.   My top takeaways:   🏠 Consistent, predictable decision making is key to building confidence and enabling housing delivery at scale. 🏠 We need a Minister in post long enough to engage with the fantastic leaders we have in our industry. The challenges are large and complex but potentially quick to resolve with the right interventions and investment. 🏠 Data harvesting, prioritising quality, and education (within the industry and of it) are critical to promoting positive change. We need to avoid deference to the status quo. 🏠 We must address skills. That’s knowledge within the industry, attractiveness into trades and a labour force for now.

The Local Government Association has welcomed the Chancellor’s additional £1.3 billion for councils for the next financial year. Andrew Laird and Professor Donna Hall argue that while this extra funding will not fix everything, it will provide an opportunity that's not to be wasted. At MV, we've been working with several councils and integrated health and care systems to design a new model of Radical Place Leadership. This builds on the experience of designing and implementing the Wigan Deal and also from inspiring programmes such as Changing Futures Northumbria and the “Liberated Method”, developed by Mark Smith. Our focus is on how you create an enabling environment so that this type of working 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 the local system, rather than having to fight against it.

In the Leadership Message, Solomon Greene, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research, discusses key insights that emerged from the “PD&R at 50” article series, reflecting on 50 years of policy development and research at HUD and observing that dedicated personnel and a commitment to rigorous research practices and fact-based policymaking have been central to PD&R’s role in advancing HUD objectives. While these have been central to PD&R historically, they also serve as enduring pillars for future work, as HUD pursues its mission “to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all.” Read more on HUD User’s #PDREdge: https://lnkd.in/ekqrUX9E

The local govt sector needs to be better. From both a Council and an administrative perspective. I believe everyone legitimately means well. However we are currently stuck in antiquated processes that are not serving anyone well. The good news is there are ways to make things better. It will require some work, some leadership and some stamina. Councils are elected and told that the budget is the most important thing they will do. While the budget is critical to get things done and quite often the thing the public hears the most about - it is a tool that is helpful to articulate the true most important thing. Delivering services, programs and infrastructure deemed most important by our communities. Some will argue these are one and the same. And here is where we fall down as administration, in my opinion. Once we assume they are the same we have been complacent in looking at only the numbers applied to these offerings and employ across the board “strategies” to find “efficiencies”. It all sounds good except it isn’t. Here me out. We are forgoing the very first step in “budgeting”. It is more appropriately called business planning. We need to look critically at our current offerings, before costing them out, to gauge how well they are continuing to align to community priorities. Those priorities sitting in the Strategic Plan crafted by Council after having heard from their public. This is where “efficiencies” can be found if we have the leadership stamina to stop supporting things that have decreased alignment and value. And then reallocate those funds to higher value areas. Done well these efforts will accomplish what is being asked for right now but with more logic applied. It sets up both Council and administration for better conversations with each other and our public. Yes, those areas where reallocations come from will be impacted. And yes, they will impact people and citizens. But if these areas are simply being supported because of historical spend and they simply do not align they must be reallocated. We cannot continue to forgo looking at our current spend critically.
