Affordable housing are homes delivered to meet the housing needs of local residents who are unable to meet the cost of private rental or home ownership via the open market.
Grants for disabled adaptations are available to help you live more comfortably in your own home by providing the necessary alterations to meet your needs.
Empty properties can not only bring down the amenity of a neighbourhood, but are also a waste of resources as they could provide much needed accommodation without the need for new housing.
The council works closely with the Norfolk and Suffolk Gypsy, Roma and Traveller service and they can provide support if travellers arrive on your land.
With a shortage of affordable housing, we have embraced house building to help meet demand and reduce the current shortage in affordable accommodation.
The housing leadership team is the senior administrative and strategic group within East Suffolk Council responsible for directing, managing, and regulating public housing services, council property assets, and local housing strategies.
