Homes for Tomorrow

Earlier this year we formally adopted our new Housing and Homelessness Strategy for 2026 to 2030.

The new strategy, called Homes for Tomorrow, sets out the aims and objectives of how the Council will help to prevent and relieve homelessness and deliver more affordable homes for residents of Horsham District over the next four years.

The strategy focuses on:

• Aiming to reduce rough sleeping numbers
• Helping prevent homelessness before it becomes an emergency
• Reducing reliance on temporary accommodation
• Ensuring the Housing Register remains fair, transparent, and accessible
• Helping people live independently
• Delivering more affordable homes that meet community needs across the Horsham District.

In developing the strategy, we worked in close collaboration with a broad range of partners including local MPs, central government representatives, supported housing providers, housing associations and local community organisations, amongst others.

The strategy also takes account of how housing pressures have evolved locally and nationally in recent times and sets a clear course for future housing support.

The strategy will be reviewed every year to ensure it is responding to resident needs, changes in government policy and the affordable housing sector.
