This is Renfrewshire’s second Local Housing Strategy covering the period 2011-2016. It replaces the previous Local Housing Strategy 2004-2009.

This Local Housing Strategy (LHS) sets out how the Council and partners intend to jointly meet housing need and demand across all housing tenures in Renfrewshire. It:

• sets out the strategic vision for the future of housing across all tenures, taking account of national priorities;
• sets out how the standard of housing will be improved; and
• provides clear strategic direction for housing investment over the next five years.

Renfrewshire's LHS for the period 2011-2016 has 6 key outcome, these include:

• Residents live in good quality housing;
• Homes are energy efficient, fuel poverty is minimised and the environmental impact of housing is reduced;
• Regeneration and housing programmes are progressed to create stable mixed communities that are attractive places to live;
• People are able to live independently in suitable housing with appropriate support;
• Homelessness is prevented where possible and services meet the needs of people who become homeless; and
• A range of housing options are available, routes into suitable housing are simplified and people have access to good quality information and advice.

Renfrewshire's Community Plan, Single Outcome Agreement and the Council Plan outline the priorities of the Council and its Community Planning Partners. The LHS sits firmly within this partnership framework and plays an important role in helping deliver the vision for Renfrewshire.
