Affordable Housing Strategy
Providing quality, affordable housing is one of our priorities as a council and community leader. This strategy sets out our vision for affordable housing and demonstrates our commitment for more affordable homes in Stevenage.
It outlines three key areas for our work:
- Meeting housing needs and dealing with homelessness
- Understanding local housing markets and maximising resources to meet housing need
- Encouraging a fair and inclusive community.
The town is set to grow through a number of major developments. By making sure we provide a mix of different housing types we will help to create balanced, sustainable communities where people want to be.
We are dedicated to working with other housing providers to achieve the best for local people. We will explore opportunities to bid for housing grants in partnership with Stevenage Homes.
The strategy includes an action plan and arrangements for monitoring and reporting progress. We will make sure we keep local people up to date with the town’s housing situation and plans for the future.
