At ForHousing, we are governed by three main entities.

That’s the ForHousing Executive Management Team, the ForHousing Board and ForHousing Committees. 

The Executive Management Team is responsible for the day-to-day running of ForHousing. They make sure that our promises to tenants are being delivered and that the outcomes expected are being met.

The Board leads ForHousing, sets the ForHousing Strategy and brings strong leadership, ideas and insight as well as being the ultimate decision makers. Board members bring a wealth of experience and expertise to support ForHousing to deliver our vision.

The Board is accountable for the success of the organisation and is responsible for several key areas, making sure we are governed properly and that we are always compliant. The Board help us to manage risks for ForHousing so that we can focus on providing safe, well maintained homes where tenants feel safe and secure. They are accountable to our stakeholders and shareholders for our financial strength and performance.

Our Board members bring lots of experience from other sectors, they share their knowledge and innovation meaning we can always keep learning and improving.

We are committed to openness and transparency in all that we do, if you would like to read our Regulatory Judgement you can read the full report.

ForHousing Board Members chair four committees. They help to support and oversee key changes to the organisation and provide ForHousing with different perspectives. They help us make and review decisions related to the day-to-day running of ForHousing.

The Customer committee ensure that services are equitable, accessible and fit for purpose and that our tenants can influence the development of these services and are at the heart of all that ForHousing do.

The Homes committee support the delivery of safe, well maintained, sustainable and affordable homes. They monitor, consider and recommend guidance to ForHousing on development activity and performance. They consider new development opportunities and monitors the delivery of existing schemes and projects, aligned to the delivery of our Homes Strategy.

The People and Culture committee will ensure that our people are well supported and have the right tools and learning to discharge their duties. The Committee will ensure that the culture of ForHousing reflects that set by the Board and that colleague wellbeing and EDI is central to the decisions ForHousing makes.

The Audit and Risk committee ensures that ForHousing is adequately monitoring its risks, and that it operates within a strong control framework with robust data governance, which allows the progression of the ForHousing Strategy.
