Housing Strategy 2008 - 2012

The housing strategy sets out the borough’s housing plans and the key challenges facing Richmond upon Thames up to 2012. The strategy focuses on seven priorities identified through the work of a multi agency steering group:

• More affordable homes;
• Better quality and greener homes;
• Preventing homelessness;
• Supporting independent living;
• Understanding and influencing the housing market;
• Promoting housing choice; and
• Creating thriving communities.

These priorities are based on robust evidence, incorporate key national, regional and local policy agendas and have undergone considerable consultation with stakeholders.
