Edinburgh's Local Housing Strategy

Overview

Edinburgh’s Local Housing Strategy will cover all tenures and types of housing and will set out the priorities for delivering housing and related services. It is a statutory requirement that local authorities produce a Local Housing Strategy.

The City of Edinburgh Council’s Enabling and Partnerships Team are leading the research, development and monitoring of Edinburgh's Local Housing Strategy.  Your views and feedback will be sought throughout 2024 and the final strategy is expected to be completed by May 2025.

Why your views matter

With the fastest growing population in Scotland and facing unprecedented challenges, it has never been more important to have a strong housing strategy that reflects and is influenced by the views of those living in the city. The responses to this survey will feed into the development of the strategy.

What happens next

We will continue to engage and consult in a variety of ways throughout June to October 2024 to speak to as many people as possible across Edinburgh. A draft strategy will be published towards the end of the year for further consultation and feedback.

We will keep our web page https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/local-housing-strategy updated and use our mailing list to let people know how they can stay involved. If you would like to join the Local Housing Strategy development mailing list, please email localhousingstrategy@edinburgh.gov.uk
