ProjectsNational Register of Social Housing (NROSH)Research evaluating NROSH has been carried out since the end of 2004 and will continue until 2006. In March 2005 a document was submitted to the Housing Corporation outlining the similarities and differences in definitions used by the RSR and proposed by NROSH, whilst outlining the principles that may be applied when comparing NROSH and the RSR. A further report was submitted in May 2005 via the Housing Corporation to the ODPM setting out appropriate and acceptable tolerance levels if NROSH is to be used as a viable alternative to the RSR. Data taken from NROSH will be aggregated into a dummy RSR during August/September 2005. Data from HAs that volunteered for the pilot NROSH will be compared to the data received via their RSR 2005 to examine if discrepancies occur. A summary paper will be produced outlining the data findings for the NROSH Board in early September. Further, data from HAs that volunteered for the pilot NROSH will be compared to the data received via their RSR 2005 to examine if discrepancies occur. Where differences in data cannot be explained further research will be conducted with the pilot HAs to find out why the data differs. Findings from the research will enable a decision on whether NROSH constitutes an acceptable substitute for the Housing Corporation’s regulatory purposes. Contact: Funder(s): |
