One of the Councils' key priorities is to work to ensure that everyone has a decent roof over their heads. Our Housing Strategy and Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy alongside our delivery plans set out how we will work to achieve that goal.
Our Housing strategy
In the midst of a national housing crisis, it is with a strong sense of responsibility that we are presenting this new housing strategy. This strategy makes clear that ensuring an improved and fairer access to high-quality and affordable homes for Waltham Forest residents is one of the Council’s key priorities. A good home is more than a roof over someone’s head – it is a foundation to live a happy and healthy life.
