The HCA has set out its commitment to community engagement, and how it will utilise its Single Conversation business model to empower communities. This in turn will create places where people want to live and work – the Agency’s key objective.
“For People and Places: our approach to Community Engagement”, launched at this weekend’s Tenant Participation Advisory Service (TPAS) annual conference in Birmingham, addresses three main policy areas:
* Our approach to embedding community engagement in housing and regeneration delivery
* Ten guiding principles for community engagement to provide a clear baseline and guide the HCA’s approach and those of its partners
* The key tasks the HCA, as an organisation, will undertake to implement its approach to community engagement.
The HCA’s pledge includes consulting with key stakeholders on its overall strategies and programmes; ensuring that requirements for community engagement in strategies, programmes and projects are an integral part of its investment appraisal process; working with local authorities and their partners; sharing best practice with staff; working with the TSA to champion the rights of tenants; and regular monitoring.
