Have your say on housing in Hastings

Wednesday, 13 August 2025 09:00

Hastings, the Council want people to have their say on its draft housing strategy for the future.

The councils’ priorities for 2025 to 2030 include:

Deliver the homes we need;
Prevent homelessness and end rough sleeping;
Create a rented sector which works for tenants and landlords;
Homes that support health, independence, and longer lives;
Reduce carbon emissions from housing and future-proof homes for a changing climate.

The draft has been written following initial engagement with the Housing Strategy steering group, residents, organisations, landlords, tenants, Hastings Borough Council and East Sussex County Council officers.

Find out more about the Hastings Housing Strategy. Make sure you’ve had your say by 31 August 2025.

The Hastings Housing Strategy is separate to the East Sussex Housing Partnership housing consultation which is currently underway.

The East Sussex Housing Partnership is led by the five local housing authorities in East Sussex, including Hastings, working with housing providers and partners from across health, social care, children’s services and the voluntary and community sectors. The draft Housing Partnership Strategy sets out how we will work with other housing teams and partners to achieve shared goals, get the best outcomes for people using housing services and reduce health inequalities linked to housing. You can comment on their survey.
