Homes for Brighton & Hove
We're working with The Hyde Group to provide affordable housing for families on lower incomes, through our joint venture called Homes for Brighton & Hove.
About Homes for Brighton & Hove
Homes for Brighton & Hove is a partnership between Brighton & Hove City Council and the Hyde Group.
By working together through the partnership, Hyde and the council can combine resources and provide new affordable homes for local people that the city urgently needs.
Our aim is to build 1,000 new affordable homes over the next few years. These will be specifically for lower income households in Brighton & Hove.
You can find more information on Homes for Brighton & Hove on the Hyde website.
The benefits of Homes for Brighton & Hove
The benefits of Homes for Brighton & Hove are:
- half of the new homes will be available for rent from Brighton & Hove City Council, to people on the city’s joint housing register, on low social rents
- half of the new homes will be available to buy as shared ownership homes from Hyde
- the energy efficient homes will reduce energy demand and fuel costs for families
What we're doing now
Construction of 242 new homes on land to the east of Coldean Lane and 104 new homes at Clarendon Place in Portslade began in summer 2021. Clarendon Place was completed in May 2023, and the Coldean development is nearing completion.
Further sites are currently being identified so that we can deliver the remainder of the homes planned.
How to apply for a new home
For rented homes, you can join the housing register and apply for the new homes when they're available.
For shared ownership, the homes for sale will be advertised on Hyde New Homes, where you can register and apply.
