Four new appointments to the Homes and Communities Agency\u2019s Board have been confirmed by the Communities Secretary Sajid Javid, as the agency takes a leading role in delivering the new homes the country needs.<\/p>\n

Stephen Bell, Richard Blakeway, Councillor Simon Dudley and Councillor Teresa O\u2019Neill OBE have been appointed following a recruitment process in line with the Office of the Commissioner for Public Appointments.<\/p>\n

The HCA<\/abbr> is going through a period of change as it helps deliver a significant increase in housing supply and the Board will establish the overall strategic direction of the Agency, ensure it carries out its functions effectively and meets its targets.<\/p>\n

This is an important period for the Homes and Communities Agency as it plays a key role in delivering the homes this country needs.<\/p>\n

The agency will be vital for boosting housebuilding and speeding up the delivery of new homes so that everyone can benefit from having somewhere safe and secure to live.<\/p>\n

These appointments will bring new skills, knowledge and considerable experience that will be of real benefit to the HCA<\/abbr>\u2019s Board.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
