What role does collaboration play in improving the delivery of social and affordable housing? Survey

Collaborative working has a critical role to play in meeting the UK’s housing needs, improving efficiency and unlocking new models of delivery. This survey, in association with Devonshires, aims to gather perspectives from across the housing sector to understand where collaboration is working well, what barriers to collaboration persist, and where the greatest opportunities lie.

This short survey should only take a few minutes to complete and its results will be used to inform a report in Inside Housing, where responses will be anonymised.
