Bracknell Forest housing strategy 2023 to 2028
The new housing strategy outlines our vision and priorities for housing. It covers the next 5 years.
The housing strategy assesses the local area's housing needs and sets out how we will address them.
The strategy supports the Bracknell Forest Council Plan. It sets out detailed plans and priorities for achieving our housing goals.
Our vision is for all Bracknell Forest residents to live in good-quality, safe and affordable homes. We want residents to be independent, financially secure and able to get the right support when needed.
We have set out 4 priorities to help us to achieve this:
- Prevent homelessness and increase housing options and support for households in need.
- Deliver new homes in sustainable communities that meet the needs of residents.
- Make the best use of existing homes and improve housing quality.
- Provide a range of housing options for people with care and support needs.
The final housing strategy was developed after consulting with:
- residents
- partners
- housing providers
- councillors
We consulted through an online survey and a member workshop. We also engaged with a range of voluntary and statutory service providers. We sought their views on the key local housing issues and priorities for action.

Homelessness and rough sleeping strategy
Our 2021 to 2026 strategy sets out how we will deliver services in the future to tackle homelessness. It also details the resources available to prevent and relieve homelessness.
The strategy is based on a comprehensive review. The review, which took place in 2021, looked at the nature and extent of homelessness and rough sleeping in the borough.
The final version of the strategy was developed following a period of stakeholder consultation in November 2021.
The strategy sets priorities and actions. They will be carried out through the development of a detailed action plan to be agreed with partners.
The main vehicle for overseeing the strategy and action plan will be the new Homelessness Forum. The forum was launched in January 2022.
