BMBC - DRAFT HOUSING STRATEGY SURVEY

Our housing vision and ambition

The 2030 vision for 'Barnsley - the place of possibilities' seeks a healthy, growing, learning, sustainable Barnsley. Providing quality, affordable, inclusive and sustainable housing that suits resident needs and lifestyles is critical.

Living in a warm, safe home is essential for staying healthy and well. There is strong evidence that living in cold, damp and unsafe homes can affect people’s physical and mental health and can increase the risk of ill health, injury or dying. Living in good quality, affordable housing supports our health and wellbeing, and is something every resident in Barnsley should have access to. Having this foundation helps people support their family, be part of their community and contribute to our economy. 

Our revised housing strategy (2024-2028) sets out our current strategic priorities. Our four pillars of success will focus and guide our collective efforts over the next four years. Our Sustainable Barnsley theme and ambitions cut across each of the four pillars.
