Our housing challenges and initiatives
Brighton & Hove has a housing crisis with 7,500 households currently on the Housing Register. This includes 1,800 people currently living in temporary or emergency accommodation.
One of our biggest challenges is how we can provide more housing to meet the city’s ever-increasing needs. We also need to ensure our housing it is genuinely affordable to buy or rent.
City Plan Part 1 sets out our housing target of 13,200 new homes by 2030.
We are working to increase the supply of new council-owned housing in the city through 3 initiatives.
New homes for neighbourhoods
We're developing unused council sites to make the best use of our land and build affordable homes the city needs. Find out more about new homes for neighbourhoods.
New affordable homes in the city joint venture
We're working with The Hyde Group to provide affordable housing for families on lower incomes, through our joint venture called Homes for Brighton & Hove.
Hidden Homes
Our Hidden Homes project is transforming neglected or redundant spaces in council-owned properties into good quality, comfortable homes.
Major Developments
On our Major Developments pages you can also see how we are working with private landowners and developers to build much needed new housing and regenerate local communities. We continue to work with developers to maximise affordable housing provided on sites in the city.
