Local Housing Strategy

The draft Strategy sets out how, over the next 6 years, the Council will work with stakeholders to shape and deliver safe, good quality, affordable housing, and housing services. With a reduction of available public sector resources, the Strategy relies upon creativity, innovation and partnership working, focusing on inward investment with a robust strategic direction.

The Council’s vision for the strategy is to ensure that ‘the housing market in RCT offers our residents access to good quality, affordable homes, in the right place at the right time.’

The Strategy is supported by the following four objectives that will drive its delivery:

• To enable a functional housing market that meets the needs of our communities.
• To promote sustainable communities and create homes that are safe, warm and healthy by improving housing conditions and investing in community regeneration.
• To enable access to all types of suitable and affordable housing that meets the needs of residents.
• To create prosperous communities by ensuring residents have access to housing advice and support that meets their needs.

The consultation provides residents with the opportunity to comment and contribute to the final draft of the Strategy.
