The RSH is changing the way it looks at your costs. And you need to know about it for this year’s value for money (VfM) self-assessment – even more so if you are subject to an In-Depth Assessment (IDA). The regulator has already calculated your headline social housing costs per property and it will use this data, along with other intelligence, when considering your viability and governance arrangements.
Known as the ‘Cost Per Unit’ (CPU) or ‘Unit Cost Analysis’ (UCA) the measure is used to generate a ‘headline social housing cost-per-unit’ for registered providers.
We have scrutinised the data. We will let you know what you need to do and when, and how to use the data to inform your board and business plans.
Have you just got your RSH letter on costs? Do you want to know where the RSH is going with this? Have you worked out how you compare to others? How do you use it in your next Value for Money (VfM) self-assessment?
This training session will answer your questions.
