Methodist Action North-West CGP Partnership Project
Submitted by David Gibbens on
This strong regeneration partnership is documented in the attached case study prepared by Methodist Action North West.
In brief summary, the case study notes:
MANW secured the funding from the DCLG to help bring empty properties back into use through a ‘One Stop Shop’ solution. Each property refurbishment was managed by the Empty Homes team who on completion passed the property over to the APTL team to lease for an agreed period of time. APTL offers a service that is the point of contact for landlord and tenant.
