Views sought on Glasgow's future housing needs
Glasgow City Council has launched a consultation on its draft Local Housing Strategy (LHS), to look at the future of all Glasgow’s housing across all tenures (2011-2016) and set a clear direction for investment in this sector.
The consultation runs until 18 December 2009, during which time responses and views are wanted from groups and individuals with an interest in Glasgow’s housing sector; including home owners and tenants, people looking for a home, statutory agencies for health, transport and community planning, voluntary and charitable organisations, homelessness organisations, Local Housing Forums, social and private landlords and the general public.
The consultation is based around the Local Housing Strategy’s aims:
1. To advance the regeneration of the city
2. To raise the city’s housing in all tenures to satisfactory standards, maximising energy efficiency, with affordable costs, and to improve the quality of our neighbourhoods
3. To meet people’s changing needs for housing and promote independent living through housing support where needed
4. To prevent and alleviate homelessness through the delivery of effective services
5. To promote equality of access to appropriate housing and housing services and to monitor relevant processes effectively
6. To promote the effective delivery of housing services in the city including housing information and advice
