East Sussex Housing Partnership Strategy

The East Sussex Housing Partnership is led by the 5 housing authorities working together. The housing partnership strategy has been developed alongside the Hastings Housing Strategy and sets out how we will work together to achieve the shared aims in the strategy. Feedback from the steering group and local consultation has helped to shape key areas of work. The partnership strategy has now been adopted by all 5 housing authorities and East Sussex County Council.
