Portfolio for housing for Police and Crime Commissioner

Police

CIH is offering landlords in Devon and Cornwall a chance to work collaboratively in developing a portfolio for housing in their area  to present to the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), which is aimed at:

  • ensuring a strong strategic relationship between the PCC and housing sector across Devon and Cornwall
  • displaying the importance of what the housing sector has to offer
  • identifying what the housing sector needs from the PCC (funding/partnership management/coordination)

The introduction of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) is imminent and will see a fundamental change in how services are commissioned for community safety.

The current project will cover Devon and Cornwall however it could be replicated in other parts of the country.
