The Government Office for the Regions already work with all local authorities on housing matters, including where the authority is considering a housing transfer. In addition the Office's Community Housing Task Force work with authorities to help them deliver housing transfers within the framework set out by Government.

The Government Offices will continue to work with an authority post transfer on its strategic and statutory housing roles.
