The council has invested more than £44m in council homes and started work on 528 affordable homes, but temporary accommodation pressures keep rising. Here's what the two-year review of the Housing Strategy shows.

Work is under way on 222 new council homes for rent and a community hub in Moulsecoomb, with a GP surgery, library, youth centre, café, skate park and 3G pitches. Shaped by residents, it is one of the city's biggest council housing projects in years.

Brighton and Hove City Council is expanding its selective licensing scheme to the Regency and Central Hove wards from October 2026, meaning up to 7,274 more private rented homes will need a licence. Landlords who fail to comply face fines and enforcement.

Brighton and Hove City Council has secured £4.7 million in government funding for fire safety work on the outer walls of nine high-rise council blocks, with the total expected to reach over £6 million. Councillors decide on the plans at Cabinet on 29 June.
