Sunderland Housing Strategic Needs and Intentions (Housing Strategy)

Housing in Sunderland

Sunderland City Council wants to deliver the right houses at the right quality in the right places, with the right support if needed.

The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted more than ever a need for safe, secure housing with outdoor space so that communities can thrive, and people are able to live long healthy lives.

Sunderland's Housing Strategy is transformational, recognising the changes for all residents especially the most vulnerable and their housing needs.

The strategy contains three sections:

• Maximising housing growth and increasing the choice of housing
• Making better use of our existing housing and improving our neighbourhoods
• Supporting vulnerable people to access and maintain housing
