Housing in South Kesteven

The Housing Strategy 2020-2024 is the product of consultation with a range of stakeholders and draws upon multiple data sources in setting out an ambitious vision for the future of the district within the context of the corporate priority of housing.

At the heart of the strategy is the belief that homes are a fundamental part of our lives. Houses should be 'healthy', good quality, sustainable and secure, providing the environment for people to thrive and achieve. Four main themes with associated outcomes have been developed and will be our focus over the next four years.

• Theme 1: Help to meet the housing needs of residents
• Theme 2: Facilitate the delivery of new housing across a range of tenures
• Theme 3: Enable those whose independence may be at risk to access housing (including their current home) that meets their needs
• Theme 4: Encourage, support and regulate the private sector to provide well managed, safe homes.
