This Tripartite Agreement is a collaboration between Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Greater Manchester Housing Providers and Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership.

It sets out their vision and plans to work alongside local people and neighbourhoods to deliver positive change across the Greater Manchester economy.

Its overriding focus is to embed the role of housing in joined up action on improving health. In particular, by:

  • aligning resources and expertise, to improve outcomes in existing homes and neighbourhoods;
  • influencing the development of new housing and communities with the right physical, social and green infrastructure that promote healthy lifestyles;
  • supporting public service reform by aligning health and social care systems to wider public services such as education, skills, work and housing; and
  • embedding the principles of Inclusion Health into the way we work, deliver services and commission, to ensure that supporting the most vulnerable is everyone's business.
