Housing Services
The Council sold all of its housing stock in April 2000 to
The Community Housing Group, (a
local Housing Association). However, the Council still retains
important housing responsibilities as the Local Housing Authority.
These are set out below and have links to other parts of the
Council’s website and those of external organisations, so that you
can obtain further information.
Housing Strategy Team
| The Community Housing Group
operates the Homelessness and Housing Advice service on behalf of
the Council. The aim of this service is to prevent homelessness
from happening in the first place and to provide housing advice
generally to people who require assistance. Our Housing Strategy
Team oversees and monitors this service as the Council still
retains important housing responsibilities as the Local Housing
Authority. |

The Housing Strategy Team also works with its partner housing
associations to help provide affordable housing, both rented and
shared ownership for people in housing need.
Private Sector Housing Team
The Council’s Private Sector Housing Team deal with a wide range
of functions which mainly relate to ensuring that housing
conditions are monitored to a decent standard and it provides
advice, assistance and where necessary enforces standards. The
council works closely with the
North Worcestershire Care and Repair Agency, they can offer
practical advice and assistance on property conditions for older
and vulnerable people.
The Housing section has received the final report on the stock
condition survey carried out on private housing in the district.
