Housing strategy (2018-2023)

Summary

The Housing Strategy covers all housing, rented and owned, and recognises the contribution the right mix of good quality and well-managed housing (and good advice and support) can make to residents.

We are keen to take a positive approach to actively making things happen in the borough, not just leaving it to the open market. We have identified four strategic objectives to meet current and future housing requirements in Great Yarmouth:

• New homes: ensuring there are enough good quality new homes
• Our homes: improving the quality and use of the council's housing stock
• Decent homes: providing a good mix of decent homes across all tenures
• Healthy homes: meeting the needs of vulnerable households

This plan expands on these four key priorities, highlighting our ambition, and our approach to delivery. The strategy is underpinned by a strong evidence base, attached as an appendix. The ambition to transform the housing market in the borough will require many agencies and local communities to work together to make it happen.
