North East Housing Partnership

The North East is a brilliant place with enormous pride in its identity. We have vibrant cities set in fabulous natural landscapes, world leading universities, and we are home to globally renowned technology businesses.

However, at the same time there are high numbers of people who are unskilled and we have the lowest employment rate in England and Wales. 

Devolution presents a significant opportunity to address these disparities and build our region better. With new powers and new funding, managed and delivered close to local needs, we can take on deep seated problems that have long held us back.

But devolution isn’t a magic wand. It’s a starting point from which to build for the future. That future rests in all our hands and it’s a big responsibility.

To make a real success of devolution, anchor institutions across the region need to get behind it, lend their enthusiasm and expertise, and align their own work and investment with that of the new combined authority.

That is why social housing providers in the North East have come together to form The North East Housing Partnership (NEHP).
