Regional Housing Strategy 2005-2021
The Regional Housing Board is responsible for producing a Regional Housing Strategy as the basis of advice to ministers on strategic housing priorities in the region. The Regional Housing Strategy sits within the context of the region's strategic framework, Advancing Together, and is consistent with other key strategies, such as the Regional Economic Strategy, the Regional Spatial Strategy and the Northern Way Growth Strategy. Regional Housing Strategies must also align with national priorities and strategies and Ministerial requirements.
The Regional Housing Strategy has 3 main purposes
- To influence regional, sub-regional and local strategies across a range of housing priorities such as delivery of affordable housing, energy efficiency, fuel poverty, sustainable design and construction, and fair access to housing policies.
- To set out regional housing priorities to steer the use of the accompanying regional investment strategy and its single housing pot
- To steer wider investment towards integrated housing, economic and social activity
The Regional Housing Board and the Yorkshire and Humber Assembly signed off the Regional Housing Strategy in May 2005 following a consultation period that engaged over 400 people. A review of the Strategy will start in 2009.

NEW EVENT: Sustainable Economic Growth, Regeneration and Local Economic Assessments (LEAs)
Local government in Yorkshire and Humber needs to explore how we can work innovatively and build capacity to conduct robust and meaningful LEAs, which are also rooted in “real-life” economic geographies.
This workshop is intended to be the first of a series that will take place in the course of conducting LEAs during 2010, to share expertise and approaches and build capacity.
