Demonstration Project

Background
  • Hounslow Homes one of the 1st round of Arms
    Length Management Organisations (ALMOs).
  • Formed in April 2002.
  • Responsibility for managing Hounslow Council
    stock of about 15,000 properties.

  • Becoming ALMO means extra 100 million to achieve
    decency standard
  • Working with key partners (Balfour Beatty,
    Connaught, Lovell, United House).

4
  • Nov 2003 Sustainable Training initiative
    launched at one of our apprentice training sites
  • Commitment to apprentice training limited by
    volume of work and available resources

5
  • In previous years overwhelmed by applications
  • Last year applications passed to partners
  • Recognition that partnership working provided an
    opportunity to expand the scheme

Innovation and Benefits
  • This year up to 15 apprenticeships rather than 3
  • Joint funding for apprentice co-coordinator to
    oversee the project
  • Joint working to provide variety of work
    experience, and exposure to different management
    systems
  • Joint working will increase opportunities for
    permanent employment

8
Lessons Learned Recommendations
  • Explore ways in which this initiative can be
    maintained when current funding levels are
    exhausted
  • Discuss with partners how Hounslow Homes labour
    force could assist them with other contracts in
    West London
  • ALMO partnering arrangements across the country
    could lead to a more integrated approach to
    apprentice training
