6. Priority: Homes
We will expand our own council housing. We will do all we can to tackle homelessness, and we will engage communities, the city’s key partners and developers in delivering the homes which Exeter needs, whilst protecting our valuable green spaces.
Intended Outcomes
- Better quality, energy efficient and more affordable homes to buy or rent.
- New housing developments that are well integrated into existing communities.
- Fewer people will be homeless or in temporary housing.
- The number of people on the social housing waiting list will reduce.
To achieve this our strategic efforts will focus on working in partnership to deliver the Exeter Plan and Liveable Exeter sites. We will secure investment for building more social housing and reduce rough sleeping and the number of people in temporary accommodation, enabling more people to find sustainable housing.
