There were several keychanges that affected targets during2010/11, including two key partnersgoing into administration who wereprogrammed to deliver 1,301 decenthomes. Also new legislation onasbestos management significantlyreduced the pace of delivery but theimplementation of new processes hasovercome this.Following an announcement from theHomes and Communities Agency(HCA) that ALMO’s will not receivetheir final year’s allocation of funding,available resources to complete theModern Homes programme havedecreased significantly. This equatesto £12m for YHN. The decent homesdeadline date of December 2011 hasbeen removed and as a result we havere-programmed works beyond2011/12.26
