Housing key performance indicators (KPIs)

Housing KPIs help us track progress towards our goals and support us in achieving the ambitions set out in We Make Camden. Our goals are to:

  • work to improve access to affordable housing 
  • increase availability of family-sized homes
  • support more tenants to pay rent and sustain tenancies
  • prevent more households from becoming homeless
  • work with our partners to support more people off the streets
  • maintain our service standards

Definitions for figure type

The following tables show a figure type for each KPI. 

  • Quarterly sum means the total of 3 months' figures added together
  • Quarterly position means the figure for the last month in the quarter 
  • Quarterly average means figures for all 3 months have been added together and divided by 3
