Councils across London and the South East are under increasing pressure to deliver more social and affordable homes, and Future of London’s new report, ‘How can councils become social housing entrepreneurs?’, highlights the innovative approaches helping make that possible.
We are proud to have contributed to this research, with our Partnerships Director Claire Flowers sharing insights from our work supporting councils, housing associations and development partners. Her contribution helped shape the report’s focus on collaboration, commercial confidence and the practical tools councils need to unlock delivery.
The findings reinforce what we see every day: strong, well‑structured partnerships are one of the most effective ways to derisk development and accelerate the delivery of high‑quality homes. Through our Partnerships & Joint Ventures service, we help clients build these relationships with clarity, confidence and shared purpose.
Our teams support partners with:
- Development and project management expertise
- Commercial and viability insight
- Robust procurement and governance support
- Cross‑sector partnership working that brings public purpose and private‑sector innovation together
Entrepreneurial thinking isn’t about taking risks, it’s about solving real problems creatively. We’re committed to helping our partners do exactly that. Read the full report here.
If you’re exploring new delivery models or looking to strengthen your housing partnerships, we’d be happy to support your next steps. Learn more about our Partnerships & Joint Ventures service here.
