Homes Fit for the Future
A new strategy – Homes Fit for the Future – has been developed to improve the quality, supply and affordability of housing in the city.
The strategy, which runs from 2024 to 2028 will cover social housing, the private-rented sector and owner-occupied homes.
It sets out the vision for housing in the city: ‘Homes in Nottingham meet the aspirations and needs of our current and future residents. People live in safe, warm homes that they can afford, in vibrant local neighbourhoods where everyone can thrive’.
To achieve this, the strategy focuses on four priority areas:
- Enabling the building of new homes and regeneration and, improving housing standards while continuing the progress towards a carbon net zero future
- Making the best use of the available housing stock and supporting the development and acquisition of more affordable homes
- Preventing and reducing homelessness and rough sleeping
- Supporting people to live independently, in partnership with health services, social care and other partner agencies
Partnership working will be key to achieving the vision and responding to housing need in the city, and the strategy provides a framework for organisations to work together.
Following a period of public consultation the draft strategy is being reviewed and is due to be adopted as a council document in Winter 2024.
