The Housing Strategy Priority Policy Area aims to review and set future direction in a number of housing related areas and 'problem areas'. Housing plays a key role in everyone's lives and making sure that the right type of housing is provided and operated as best it can be in Guernsey is essential.
Housing Strategy Priority Policy Area
The Housing Strategy Priority Policy Area comprises eleven projects, which together will feed into creating an updated Housing Strategy for Guernsey. This Housing Strategy will be an agreed vision for the direction of housing related policymaking for the next 10 years. It will aim to make sure that the right type of housing is available to all in Guernsey.
In delivering these eleven projects, seven of the projects have been grouped into a two-year Housing Strategy Programme. The Housing Strategy Programme was established following the States endorsement of the 2018 Committee for the Environment & Infrastructure Policy Letter, "Local Market Housing Review and Development of a Future Housing Strategy". A diagram showing the structure of the projects within the Housing Strategy Priority Policy Area can be viewed in the downloads section on this page.
It has been agreed to suspend the Housing Strategy Programme until further notice. The urgent and immediate need to address the current housing market has been recognised, as was the need to provide quick and innovative solutions to overcome the lack of accessible and suitable housing for key workers, and business generally. As such it has been agreed to form the Housing Action Group.
