about g320
g320 represents small housing associations in London - with fewer
than 1000 homes - as part of the London Housing Federation. Of the
320 smaller members of the London Housing Federation there is a
diverse and successful mix of housing associations, many locally
focused, many delivering specialist services. These include housing
associations which focus on black and minority ethnic communities,
people with support needs, key workers, students or older people
and which come in many shapes, including housing co-ops, almshouses
and trusts. We have many success stories to tell and continue to
play a strong part in developing housing solutions for our capital.
g320 launched a Collaborative Working register in 2008 - see home page for details.
The g320 operates as a discussion group and forum to share information.
Part of this happens through regular meetings where smaller housing
associations have the chance to get together to explore issues of
common concern. Speakers also attend these meetings, providing information
or training on important matters. More informally, we agree to keep
in touch via email and the telephone, sharing policies or procedures
as well as providing support or assistance in times of need.
Members of g320 are keen to demonstrate that we are fit to face
the many challenges facing housing associations today. Our ability
to work well in partnership with each other and with key enablers
such as local authorities gives us a head start in meeting many
of these challenges. We see it as important that we concentrate
on the strength we achieve through our diversity, professionalism
and focus on our customers.
