This multi-million pound Private Finance Initiative (PFI)
is about to deliver 340 units of new social housing for vulnerable
people in Kent. We have procured the project on behalf of and in
partnership with 10 local district councils. It is one of the
largest projects of its type in the country and will receive PFI
credits from the Department of Communities and Local
Government.
The partnership between the district councils and the county
council has provided a local perspective as well as the strategic
capacity to bring stakeholders needs together within a single
project.
It is regarded as a flagship project nationally and we often
receive requests for advice from other local authorities who are
looking to undertake PFI projects in partnership with their
neighbouring councils.
Benefits
The private sector recognises that the partnership has produced
considerable efficiencies in bringing together a number of small
clusters of housing from across local authority boundaries.
After a year of negotiations, Housing 21 has signed a deal with
the partnership between KCC and ten of the district and borough
councils in the county to build and run a total of 340 apartments
across Kent.
