About this event
As we enter the business planning and budget round for 2025.26, and in the light of the recent change in government and forthcoming Spending Review, where it is expected that there may be significant announcements around social housing, our half-day webinar on business planning and stress testing is particularly well timed.
During the webinar, we will cover:
- The HRA Business Plan; what it is, why it's needed and how it is created, and why it’s particularly important in 2024.
- The data you will need for your 30 Year Business Plan and how to stress test its viability.
- Inflationary trends in housing capital investment, maintenance and new build.
- The key investments that you need to make in your existing stock.
- The financial capacity you will have for investment in your current stock and the scope to build new homes.
- A policy and practice sweep, to pick up the latest topical issues in relation to HRA finance.
Who should attend?
This course is aimed at local authority and housing association business planning, development and finance staff who are looking to develop or review their 30 year Housing Business Plans, setting out the investments they need to make in existing stock and the plans to build new homes. It will also be of benefit to other local authority finance staff wanting to develop more than a background knowledge of the HRA and the housing business planning process. Colleagues responsible for budgetary management, future development, sustainability and regeneration, both corporately and within housing services, may also find this course extremely useful in helping them understand the context in which their services are provided.
How will you benefit from attending?
The course provides a comprehensive introduction and update on the development, review and updating of your Housing 30 Year Business Plan and the resilience of your Housing Revenue Account (HRA), and the equivalent plans for housing associations
