SHN Value for Money service
Scotland’s Housing Network is pleased to again offer our Value for Money (VFM) service for 2024. The VFM service allows our members to take stock of the services they provide and their efficiency, and to benchmark spend and performance against others in the Housing Sector.
We have once again revised the Value for Money Tool, this year adding additional validation to support you in completing this return.
The Tool is completed using data related to:
- Your context (stock numbers, rent etc)
- Business Planning assumptions
- Income/Expenditure
- Staffing and non-staffing spend allocations against particular activities
The Value for Money service is an existing benefit of your membership and is open to both local authorities and RSL’s. I’m pleased to say we continue to see an upward trend in participation, so if you’ve been on the fence about the project now’s the time to give it a go. The more organisations participate, the more useful it’ll be.
A short introductory video is below:
To participate:
- Simply complete the SHN Value for Money Tool 2024
- Ensure you also review the revised SHN Value for Money Guidance
These resources are also available to download from here.
If you have any difficulty getting a hold of these resources please let us know and we can help.
Completed spreadsheets should be submitted to us via data@scotlandshousingnetwork.org no later than Friday 27th September. We will then endeavour to produce outputs by the end of October, with a Forum ASAP after that.
