Local Housing Strategy

Everyone deserves a safe, warm and affordable home. Our Local Housing Strategy explains how we plan to improve housing across South Lanarkshire over the next five years. It sets out what we will do to increase the supply of affordable homes, improve energy efficiency, support independent living and reduce homelessness.

What the strategy aims to do

The strategy focuses on:

• providing more affordable housing
• improving the quality and energy efficiency of existing homes
• helping people live independently in their own homes
• preventing and reducing homelessness
• creating safe, supportive and sustainable communities

These actions help tackle the cost of living crisis and support our work to respond to climate change.

How the strategy was developed

We worked with residents, housing providers, community groups and other partners to shape the strategy. We also assessed the possible impact on different groups and the environment to make sure our plans are fair and responsible.

You can read the full strategy or a shorter summary on our website.
