Project Background
The Social Housing Public Private Partnership (PPP) Programme is designed to deliver:

- the provision of services to the developments over a 25 year period following construction that will include the maintenance and upkeep of the housing and tenancy management services; and
- the return of the developments to the relevant local authorities after 25 years in prime condition.
