2.12 The RSL Forum meets quarterly and offers the opportunity for open discussions<br />
between the <strong>Council</strong> and all its RSL partners on strategic issues that feed in to the<br />
LHS process. At a more operational level there are strong, well-established liaison<br />
arrangements between RSL development staff and the <strong>Council</strong> on specific projects<br />
with regular meetings being held between the <strong>Council</strong>’s development partnership<br />
officers and RSL development staff. The diagram below illustrates the integrated<br />
nature of the relationship between the <strong>Council</strong>, RSL partners and the Scottish<br />
Government <strong>Housing</strong> and Regeneration Directorate where all three have to work<br />
co-operatively if both national and local housing objectives are to be met.<br />

2.13 The SOA takes account of the demographic and economic factors that influence<br />
housing need and demand in the <strong>Council</strong> area and drives and underpins the Local<br />
<strong>Housing</strong> Strategy by identifying clear strategic housing outcomes. The outcomes<br />
and indicators identified in the SOA relating to housing and support issues will<br />
effectively form a core set of outcomes and indicators within the next Local <strong>Housing</strong><br />
Strategy. The following diagram indicates the key influences on the LHS process.<br />
