The performance of the Home Improvement Agency is monitored via board that consists of representatives across the three district councils and Cambridgeshire County Council.

The board sets and agrees the strategic direction of the agency with a particular focus on delivering adaptations, funded through disabled facilities grants (DFGs). The role of the agency also includes maximising the well-being of its customers.
