- The SHRA’s new online Retrofit
Maturity Assessment will ask you a series of questions looking at the parts of your organisation listed above. It is aimed at organisations that manage social housing stock, such as housing associations and local authorities.
The Maturity Assessment will help you identify gaps in your readiness to retrofit at scale and, if needed, direct you towards SHRA learning resources.
In the next few weeks, once we have collected information from providers across the country, you will receive a short report summarising how your organisation compares against an ideal operating model for delivering retrofit – this will help you identify where you can focus with your asset teams for continual improvement and putting you in a better place to draw down future funding
The information you share with us will also help us understand the current state of the sector and how the SHRA can improve its services to support housing providers, as well as being your opportunity to help shape future policy.
Your information will be held securely and not shared with any third parties in line with our privacy policy.
So, what are you waiting for? The assessment takes around 10-15 minutes to complete and you can get started using the link below.
