Description

INReach (Birmingham) Limited INreach is a wholly-owned company subsidiary of Birmingham City Council. The organisation was set up in December 2014 and provides a further tenancy option for the city, providing purpose built Private Rented accommodation. The Council is responding to the demand for rented homes at market price and setting the quality standards for all to follow.

Background
In October 2013, Cabinet approved the Birmingham Housing Growth Plan which supports the Birmingham Development Plan and set out the challenges faced by the Council in providing enough homes for a growing city. It recognizes the rapid growth of the private market rented sector. The Plan notes that this tenure has the potential to make a significant contribution to the housing targets and that the Council has a role to play in positively supporting the growth of this market. It considers that there is an opportunity for the Council to lead by example and act as a developer of private rented homes which also offers the opportunity to drive up the quality of accommodation in this sector encouraging an improved housing offer.

On 8th December 2014 Cabinet approved the establishment of a wholly owned company to assist in the delivery of the Council's housing development and regeneration objectives.

The Embankment project is the first PRS scheme for INReach and will provide tenancies on an assured shorthold basis at market rents. It is therefore of great importance to the Council and high profile.
