Hastings Borough Council (HBC) is in the process of drafting a new Housing Strategy for the town. This will be a five-year strategy with the aim of adoption by the Autumn 2025. It will set out how HBC will meet their ambition for everyone in the town to have a decent place to live. HVA are working with HBC to facilitate a session for community organisations to help them engage with residents directly. If you work with people who are in housing crisis or are suffering a housing crisis yourself, HBC would like to hear from you. Book yourself a place to take part in this important conversation.
