Better Housing Services Improvement Toolkits

The Better Housing Services Improvement Toolkits have been developed by the WLGA to help with the improvement of local government housing services. They provide a flexible template to assist with reviewing services, identifying risk and developing an improvement plan.

Six Better Housing Services Improvement Toolkits are available for the following service areas:

  1. Strategic housing function
  2. Housing advice and homelessness
  3. Management of the supporting people programme
  4. Housing repairs and improvement
  5. Working with the private rented sector
  6. Sheltered Housing

It is important that the improvement toolkits are used constructively, in the spirit of openness and with the full engagement of all stakeholders.
