Housing strategy 2018 to 2023: Making Blackpool Better
The housing strategy presents our approach to address the housing issues within the town.

The strategy is built around four key themes:
- New housing supply
- Improving the private rented sector
- Stabilising lives
- Increasing delivery capacity

We have also developed a homelessness prevention and rough sleeping strategy to address the increasing number of individuals facing homelessness within the town. The strategy focusses on three key areas:
- Preventing homelessness by working with partners to identify risk and intervene earlier
- Resolve homelessness efficiently to minimise harm to an individual’s health and well being
- Support individuals to avoid repeat homelessness
