City Council on target for 1,000 affordable homes

nch

I?m pleased with the progress we?re making towards meeting our target of delivering or supporting the development of 1,000 affordable homes. We are building good quality homes with high energy efficiency standards, giving the opportunity for more local families to choose a decent home which is so important towards ensuring good health and wellbeing.

The current projection, including newly built homes, new acquisitions and homes for the homeless such as temporary accommodation, is for 1,049 units available or due for completion. This includes new council homes, some affordable homes on private sites the council acquires to add to our housing stock, converting properties above council-owned shops into affordable flats and new housing association homes available to people on our waiting list. The total also includes homeless accommodation provided by the council and our partners.

Nottingham Street Aid - a new way to give

street aid

Adding to the number of affordable homes, including homeless accommodation, is increasingly important as sadly homelessness is on the rise, in part due to the cost-of-living crisis. Thankfully there is a great support network in Nottingham to help but it needs extra funding to continue providing that support.

The launch of Nottingham Street Aid is good news, providing an alternative giving platform that will make it much easier for people to donate money with confidence that it will be used to help homeless people in Nottingham.

Supported by the City Council and business community, Nottingham Street Aid will establish contactless donation points around the city, as well as allowing people to donate by texting STREET followed by a number from 1-20 to 70560 to donate ?1-20 pounds to the fund.

Charities and other referral agencies will be able to apply to this fund to provide help to individuals who are homeless to enable them to leave the streets behind.

You can find out more about the fund here [ [link removed] ].
