Focus Housing Association
has been named as project manager for delivery of a government funded education and
training project for communities within Foleshill.
Single regeneration budget (SRB) funding of £425,000 is available for provision of a
One Stop Shop in Foleshill to offer local people access to the government’s New Deal
programme as well as other education and training opportunities.
The SRB funding was secured through a bid from community groups and organisations
within the city, including the city council, Coventry University, Warwick University,
Henley College, Tile Hill College, Coventry Chamber of Training and Enterprise and the
Ethnic Minority Alliance. Coventry City Council will continue to act as guarantor for the
funding.
Focus Housing Association will invite representatives from each of the partner
organisations to join in a project management team which will report to the Foleshill
Regeneration Board.
Focus Housing Association is politically independent and has a successful track record
in managing regeneration projects, including Aston’s SRB social exclusion programme
and Birmingham’s Gateway Service to 18 –24 year olds.
