Sustainability and Quality of Homes Group

The role of the Sustainability and Quality Homes Group is to provide a strategic steer at a national level for our work on decarbonising and managing the quality of housing association homes. The group plays a key role in ensuring that our policy, media and political lobbying work reflect the priorities of housing associations by:

• Steering NHF’s work nationally at a strategic level
• Leading the way by bringing together key housing association groups and partnerships together
• Refining messaging to the sector and to external stakeholders, and providing a forum to deliver this messaging
• Testing key strategic policy and funding asks
• Driving collaboration on sustainability and quality of homes across the sector
• Creating a forum for political engagement, or engagement with other key stakeholders across sustainability and quality of homes.
