Housing Strategy

The Housing Strategy and Services Team is responsible for producing the Local Housing Strategy on behalf of Scottish Borders Council. This forms an action plan for housing over the next 5 to 10 years.

The Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 placed a new duty on local authorities to produce a Local Housing Strategy (LHS) which forms an action plan for social rented housing over the next 5 to 10 years.  Responsibility for this lies with the Council's Housing Strategy Team which is part of the Social Work Department.

The Team are also responsible for:

  • promoting domestic energy efficiency
  • developing a range of initiatives aimed at Private Sector landlords.
