Consultation for the Draft Sandwell Housing Strategy 2023 - 2028
Residents are being asked for their views on
Sandwell Council’s draft Housing Strategy. The consultation will run for a 6-week period from Wednesday 8 February until Wednesday 22 March 2023
There are two copies of the Strategy - one for partner organisations to comment on, and a shortened version for tenants and residents. The document sets out the Council’s housing vision and ambitions for the 5-year period to the end of 2028. Our draft strategy will help meet the needs identified in the Housing Needs Assessment, produced in 2022, which sets out the data and evidence of housing needs in Sandwell. But data and intelligence have to be coupled with the voice of our residents and we will be consulting widely on this draft before finalising the strategy for adoption in 2023.
The strategy identifies 5 priorities that are fundamental to delivering Quality Homes in Thriving Neighbourhoods:
Providing more affordable homes
Making the best use of the homes we have
Quality housing for all
Supporting people's health through housing
Addressing climate change and fuel poverty
