This page includes our current housing strategies and describes the work we are doing to develop new affordable housing in Eastbourne.
In 2008 we developed a new Housing Strategy. This is based on various surveys of housing needs in Eastbourne which can be downloaded from the Housing Needs page.
Eastbourne Borough Council has begun working on a new housing strategy. ‘At Home in Eastbourne’ will look at how the Council can help people find, keep and maintain a secure home.
It will help the Council and all those we work with make the most of the changes made in the way social housing is funded. How we can help people buy a home of their own will also be part of the housing strategy as well as working to prevent people from becoming homeless.
We will be out and about this spring exploring what needs to be done to improve the way people can be at home in Eastbourne. The new housing strategy will come into effect in April 2013.
