Memorandum by the East Midlands Development
Agency (EMDA) (THC 17)
I can comment on the 4th bullet point as set
out below, as this is the main issue of relevance to emda.
The extent of the integration of the Housing
Corporation's investment programmes with local, regional and national
policies and particularly its emerging relationship with the regional
housing boards and the Regional Development Agencies.
In the East Midlands, as in other regions, regional
housing structures are at a relatively early stage of development.
So far, the housing corporation has shown itself to be a committed
and able partner on the regional housing board and in developing
the East Midlands regional housing strategy. The housing corporation
appears to be closely integrating its Approved Development Programme
with emerging regional housing priorities along with other key
regional plans and strategies.
