Housing and homelessness

Work is due to start on the development of 28 supported living apartments on the site of Knoll House in Ingram Crescent, Hove.

A major development of 242 new council-rented and shared ownership homes in Denman Place Coldean is now complete.

A new Fairness Fund to support residents struggling financially is a key part of the council’s Cost of Living Action Plan.

We’re after resident views on the draft housing strategy, setting out our vision for housing services and support over the next few years.

A new Additional Licensing Scheme for smaller Houses in Multiple Occupation and a Selective Licensing Scheme in 4 city wards will be introduced later this year.

Plans for a new community hub and housing in Moulsecoomb are moving ahead with demolition due to start this spring.

Recommendations to introduce a new Additional Licensing Scheme for smaller Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and a Selective Licensing Scheme in 4 wards will be discussed at the Housing & New Homes Committee on 13 March.

As part of Empty Homes Week, running from 4 to 10 March, we’re asking residents to tell us if a property you live near has become empty or derelict.

We’re consulting on proposed changes to how council homes are allocated in the city, with the aim of making sure available homes go to those in the greatest housing need.

The first residents have started moving into the Homes for Brighton & Hove development of 242 new low cost homes in Coldean, including 127 new council-rented homes.
