HHlogoMeeting the housing needs in Conwy County is becoming increasingly difficult and is best described as a "housing crisis".
Conwy's Local Housing Strategy 2018-23 states our vision is for people in Conwy to have access to affordable, appropriate and good quality accommodation that enhances their quality of life. We want to build more than just houses, we want to create sustainable communities where people are proud to call home.
Outcome 4 in Conwy’s Corporate Plan 2022-27: People in Conwy have affordable, good quality accommodation that meets their needs and improves their lives.
As the Housing challenge is significant it requires commitment and support from many different services across the Council to deliver the objectives in the Local Housing Strategy and Corporate Plan. Such as housing supply, housing policy, housing grants and housing quality.
The Housing and Homelessness Programme has been established to deliver the objectives and ensure there is buy in from across the Council and External Partners.
