Housing Revenue Account performance indicators

The Housing Revenue Account Team is responsible for providing all front-line Housing Services such as:

  • repairs and maintenance;
  • resident involvement;
  • estate management, including estate services;
  • sheltered housing;
  • rent and leaseholder services.

The service is mainly funded from the rent income the council generates from the houses it manages. It is therefore important to ensure arrears levels are low and services give value for money.
