Our strategy includes investment in new homes, improvements to existing homes and neighbourhoods and sets our priorities for the next three years.
A key part of our strategy is supporting the delivery of new and improved housing. We work to prevent people becoming homeless and provide support and advice to meet individual needs.
We continue to make the most of new funding opportunities and innovations working with our partners. We are committed to consulting and working with local communities, finding ways to meet their ambitions.

Future Housing Needs Strategy
We are leading the development of a new housing strategy for the City's adults. This will guide investment and will set our priorities for the future.
We want to hear from adults of all ages including those who may consider themselves as needing additional support either now or in the future. This need could arise from age related conditions or a pre-existing disability.
If you are an adult living in the city and would like to have your say complete the survey

Explains how we use our legal powers to deal with poor housing which affects our health, safety, comfort and convenience. It also covers statutory nuisance from properties.
