SPC Housing Association London & quadrant Compared to Nika Corporates Housing Tampa Discussion

1.
You are asked to look at the four housing associations reviewed in
Chapter 8 – Housing Association Case Study of ERM in a Changing
Marketplace (Pages 119-142).

1.1 Choose one association, in Chapter 8, that most closely resembles a similar local area in Tampa Bay to compare and contrast. Provide Support

1.2 Select a secondary UK housing association, within Chapter 8 include in the comparison.

1. 1. The
      association data in chapter 8 was drawn, in 2013, from current real
      cases. It may help to investigate the “actual” cases and their contexts
      for further insight and ideas for this case.
   2. You
      can find current comparison and contrast data for these associations
      using an internet search engine (Google, Microsoft Edge, Bing, etc…)
2. For each of the two housing associations selected in question 1, please answer the following three main questions:
   1. What
      do you assess as the biggest risks facing the association and what is
      your assessment of these risks? Note that “for profit” activities such
      as building houses for sale can also contribute to an association’s
      goals (e.g., to provide affordable housing).
   2. Considering
      the list of products in the “Background” section (page 119-120), how do
      you rate their potential risks and returns for the association? The
      rating should consider how they stack up against the association’s
      charitable aims, viability constraints, and association’s operating
      environment.
   3. In
      the light of the association’s financial position and its charitable
      aims, how high should be the risk appetite of the association? Is one of
      the generic strategies listed in the “Sector Issues” section (pages
      120-122) appropriate for the association, and if not, then what is the
      association’s strategy?
