Response

Hastings Borough Council does not have any council housing. They were all transferred to 1066 Housing Association (now Optivo) in 1996 as part of a Large Scale Voluntary Transfer (LSVT). There are 2 other main registered providers in Hastings: Orbit and Brighton Housing Trust (BHT). You will need to contact these three registered providers directly to obtain the requested information.
