The Local Government Association (LGA) is to showcase good examples of council housing. As part of its campaigning work, the LGA is putting a focus on how building more council housing is vital to achieving government’s 300,000 homes a year target, and what challenges councils are facing in building more homes.
The LGA intends to publish case studies to look at how council housing is:
- improving local residents’ health and wellbeing
- connecting communities and catering for their needs
- being more climate friendly
- improving the surrounding environment
- improving local job prospects
- improving the local economy and
- giving people a safe, secure place to call home.
Case studies will be hosted on the LGA’s website and may be used on its social media channels and in its national media stories. The LGA is inviting councils to submit case studies about their council housing.
