Housing

The Council no longer provides council housing. All houses owned by the Council were transferred in July 2000 to the Richmond Housing Partnership (RHP). All social housing is now provided by Housing Associations. If you live in a former Council-owned house and you have any problems please contact Richmond Housing Partnership.
