How we invest in your council homes

The Brighton & Hove standard

We make sure all of our council homes meet our Brighton & Hove standard.

This means that our homes will:

• meet the current standard for housing set by the government
• be in a reasonable state of repair
• have reasonably modern facilities
• be warm and comfortable
• include any additional items agreed with tenants

You can find full information in our Brighton & Hove standard guide (PDF 168KB).

Investing money

We have 5 priorities for our funding to keep council homes to the Brighton & Hove standard:

1. Improve services to an excellent standard and focus everything we do on residents.
2. Improve and maintain the quality of homes and neighbourhoods.
3. Deliver value for money services and develop a 30 year business plan.
4. Make best use of our available housing to meet housing need.
5. Make sure that our housing helps reduce inequality and creates opportunity.
