Conclusion (the committee's words)
We questioned Homes England on how it is adapting its delivery approach to the changes in local government structures. It acknowledged that local government reorganisation is absorbing a large amount of energy and attention.35 In response, Homes England told us it has introduced a new target operating model to allow it to work directly with local authorities. It told us it wanted to be a genuine delivery partner and gave us an example of where its teams were working directly with local authority staff in Leeds and Sheffield.36
