Local Housing Strategy
Glasgow’s Local Housing Strategy (LHS) sets out the housing issues and priorities for the city, and provides a strategic framework for future investment and management. It represents a shared understanding developed in partnership between housing agencies and the local community.
The present Local Housing Strategy 2003-2008 was adopted in March 2003 and includes changes subsequently agreed with Communities Scotland. It was preceded by a Consultative Draft Housing Plan 2001. The Council produced a Local Housing Strategy Update 2005 in May 2005, which includes the city’s Investment Strategy and Fuel Poverty Strategy.
The LHS Monitoring and Evaluation Framework provides for an annual report of progress on the actions in the Implementation Plan and an evaluation.
Work is under way on a new Local Housing Strategy 2009-14 to come into effect in April 2009, incorporating new Scottish Government requirements. An important part of this will be a new Older Private Housing Strategy which is currently under development.
Preparation of the LHS is overseen by the LHS Joint Stakeholder Working Group (JSWG) which brings together the key interests in housing in the city. The Council carried out extensive consultation during LHS development. The Consultation Process Record provides details of meetings and reports that contributed to its development.
The LHS is underpinned by a continuing programme of research and policy analysis.
