Local Housing Strategy

Everybody needs somewhere to live that they can call home.  Good quality, affordable, energy efficient housing provides firm foundations for households across South Lanarkshire and plays an important role in addressing the cost of living crisis and the challenge of climate change.

The Local Housing Strategy 2022-27 sets out the council’s priorities in relation to the supply of affordable housing, improving housing quality and energy efficiency, supporting independent living, tackling homelessness, and supporting sustainable places.

The strategy was developed in partnership with a wide range of people and organisations and was assessed for the impacts it may have on communities (Equalities Impact Assessment, Fairer Scotland Duty Assessment) and the environment (Strategic Environmental Assessment). 

The full and executive summary versions of the Local Housing Strategy can be viewed on our website.
