The Housing Theme Group aims to improve the quality of housing and reduce homelessness, ensure decent homes, housing choice and support for Coventry citizens and to make our priority neighbourhoods good places in which to live.
The group has representatives from Coventry City Council’s Housing Policy Team, Keynote Housing Group, Whitefriars Housing, Coventry Cyrenians, Coventry Community Empowerment Network and other partners.
Long-term outcomes:
- Housing in Coventry will be more suited to people's needs and aspirations with a better mix of the type and tenure of housing in neighbourhoods
|
- The quality of the existing housing stock in Coventry will improve and it will be more energy efficient
|
- All new build housing stock will be carbon neutral
|
- New housing developments will be "climate-proofed" - contributing towards reducing the carbon foot-print of the city and adapted to cope with the ill-effects of climate change
|
Short-term priorities:
- Planning to achieve a balance of housing type – mixed developments / communities
|
- Ensuring the planned growth of the city's housing stock contributes towards sustainability, meets future housing targets and provides affordable homes for local people
|
- Improving the existing housing stock to meet the decent homes standard so that better housing
contributes to people's health and well being |
- Improving the energy efficiency of existing stock, especially in the private sector
|
- Tackling homelessness in the city to keep levels to an absolute minimum
