Background:
This report introduced the Housing Strategy to 2030, which replaced the existing Strategy approved by Cabinet in 2018. It set out Medway’s strategic approach for housing services and detailed how the Council would enable the delivery of these services.
The Strategy, attached at Appendix 1 to the report, had been developed in line with the Council Plan and set out the Council’s contribution to meeting the aims of the Council Plan with respect to Housing. The Strategy had been designed around four strategic commitments relating to supply, quality, participation and independence.
The Regeneration, Culture and Environment Overview and Scrutiny Committee had considered the report on 28 February 2024 and its comments were set out at section 9 of the report.
A Diversity Impact Assessment had been undertaken in relation to the Strategy and was attached at Appendix 2 to the report.
