The Council has its own Housing Strategy
2005-2010 which has been assessed by the Government Office as 'Fit
for Purpose'. Eden has now forged links with the other authorities
in Cumbria to produce one strategy which will make the most
effective use of resources and knowledge across the County.
The County Strategy has been produced with
assistance from the Government Office for the North West and will
be the first in the country to be considered as 'Fit for
Purpose'. This was informed by a County Wide Housing
Needs Survey carried out earlier this year and provides
information on where the Council needs to focus actions in terms
of:
- affordable housing;
- ensuring housing meets the Governments Decent
Homes Standard;
- and where specialist and supported housing
needs to be provided.
