What we want for the future

Our vision is one in which housing plays its part in creating a peaceful, inclusive, prosperous and fair society.

We look to a future in which everyone will have:

• The right to be housed with a real choice of decent, accessible and affordable housing options including integrated housing in a diverse housing market;

• A renewed and strong sense of place and community;

• A sense of peace and well-being from living in a safe environment free from anti-social behaviour;

• A home which is set in a clean and pleasant environment;

• A home which is suitable to the individual’s needs; which is well designed, well maintained and is energy efficient;

• A home which has access to appropriate infrastructure in terms of transport, education, schools, shopping and recreation;

• Empowerment to have a real voice in matters affecting their home and community and access to capacity building for disadvantaged groups to encourage their participation;

• Support where it is needed to promote independent living.

Our role in working with local communities and other agencies, whether public, private or voluntary sector, is to tackle issues that make a real difference to peoples' quality of life including:

• The physical and social regeneration of local neighbourhoods;

• Community safety and anti-social behaviour;

• Good community relations.
