Value for Money Strategy 2022-23 - approved Jul-22There is a greater emphasis on VfM, due mostly to the need to stretch significantly reduced public funding, so that development can continue and the provision of affordable housing can continue to grow. In the current economic environment of increasing costs of funds and the impact of the proposed welfare benefit reforms, VfM has a crucial role to play in enabling development to continue, and to improve service standards for our customers so that they receive VfM for the rent they pay.
