The last ever Housing Corporation corporate plan has been published.

In 2008-09 the Housing Corporation committed itself to facilitating the smooth and effective transition of its responsibilities to the new agencies, working in close partnership with the teams tasked with setting up the Homes and Communities Agency and the Tenant Services Authority.

At the same time, the Corporation will continue to ensure the successful delivery of our core objectives, providing a strong foundation and legacy on which the new agencies can build.

In April 2009, a new national housing and regeneration agency, the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), will be responsible for investment in quality affordable homes. A new independent Tenant Services Authority (TSA) will be responsible for regulating social landlords.

Housing Corporation Chief Executive Steve Douglas said: "After over 40 years of success in investing in affordable housing and regulating the housing association sector, this is our last corporate plan. We will be focused on achieving the successful transfer of our functions to the Homes and Communities Agency and Tenant Services Authority. At the same time we will ensure that we continue our record of achievement of delivering our core objectives."
