Prosperous Homes, Prosperous Lives; A Housing Strategy for Rhondda Cynon Taf 2024 - 2030
Rhondda Cynon Taf’s housing strategy; ‘Prosperous Homes, Prosperous Lives (2024 – 2030) was approved by Cabinet on 19th February 2025.
The 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.’
To deliver the vision, the Strategy is supported by the following four strategic 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 RCT Housing Strategy provides the focus for delivering the housing priorities of the Council’s Corporate Plan ‘Working with our Communities 2024 - 2030’. The Council will embrace the various roles and responsibilities; both strategic and operational across all housing services and organisations, working collaboratively to deliver the objectives.
