We have a range of strategies that are designed to help us meet the housing need of the people of Dudley. These strategies are listed below along with a brief summary.
Housing Strategy
The borough’s Housing Strategy sets out our strategic aims and the key housing challenges for the future. This strategy is currently being reviewed and updated for a new version.
If you would like to comment on the draft strategy please provide any comments by using this link.
Homelessness Strategy and Review
The Homelessness Act 2002 imposes a duty on local housing authorities to formulate and publish a homelessness strategy based on the results of its homelessness review. The strategy contains information on local levels of homelessness and rough sleeping and how we work with a range of households, partner agencies and voluntary sector organisations to help prevent homelessness from occurring.
We are currently consulting on our updated strategy. If you would like to comment on it please read the document and complete this form by 26th September.
Housing Renewal Policy
This Housing Renewal Policy has been adopted by the council to implement the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Housing Assistance) (England and Wales) Order 2002. This gives councils wider powers to offer assistance.
Black Country Tenancy Strategy
The Black Country Tenancy Strategy has been produced in partnership with Sandwell MBC, Wolverhampton CC and Walsall MBC. It seeks to encourage and maintain thriving sustainable communities, and protect the vulnerable, whilst making best use of the social housing stock.
The strategy also provides guidance on the use of Affordable Rents.
