Our principles
- New Homes - With a growing population and changing lifestyles we need to provide additional homes that are affordable for our residents, in the right place, and of the right quality to meet future demand
- Pathways to home ownership - Providing homes that people can afford encourages them to play a bigger role in the city's economy
- A diverse and high-quality market rental sector - The private rented sector makes an important contribution to the city's housing, provided it is managed well
- Making best use of all our homes - We cannot allow homes to stay empty while housing is in short supply, and must use our social rented stock to meet need
- A strong sense of place - People need well designed and managed environment to achieve their full potential
- Green homes - green neighbourhoods - Energy efficiency is good for the city and can save households money and make people healthier
- Informed choice for all - People need information and advice so they can take responsibility for their own housing and employment
- Contributing to health and wellbeing - A good well managed home is essential if people are to meet their full potential to be healthier, happier and wealthier
- Enabling housing services for those households most at risk - There will be support for vulnerable households that need help to manage their housing journey
- Contribution rewarded - There will be wider choices for those who raise their aspirations
