What we do

i2i is now in its 2nd phase having previously supported Local Authorities and Transfer organisations to achieve WHQS and WHQS plus principles.

The focus now is on including retention authorities, Large Scale Voluntary Transfer organisations, and traditional RSL’s in that agenda so that the standard is achieved across the entire sector.

WHQS support

i2i is founded on the principle that achieving WHQS will rely on people – tenants, staff and councillors – making informed choices and having opportunities to be fully involved. Poor quality information can lead to confusion and even breed resentment and anger.

We base our work on the following foundations agreed with the Welsh Assembly Government and the national housing organisations:

Housing regeneration

Achieving the WHQS across social housing in Wales should and does provide an opportunity to regenerate communities and create long term solutions where there is the co location of poverty and bad quality housing. i2i has developed the WHQS plus agenda, which promotes utilising social clauses, including targeted recruitment and training, as a core element of the commissioning and procurement process for WHQS related contracts. This ensures that there is a real possibility to develop skills and job opportunities for local people, which in turn can lead to improved outcomes for all involved in the WHQS process.

i2i can support you to achieve WHQS in a variety of ways;
