In February 2007 the council transferred its housing stock to Merlin Housing Society following a large scale voluntary transfer (LSVT).
Although the council no longer has any housing, we have still have several important housing functions.
We provide a wide range of services to tenants, leaseholders, homeowners, landlords and people who are looking for a home in South Gloucestershire. We also advise and support people to get a home that suits their needs - whether they're renting from private landlords, owning or part-owning.
We
- offer support, advice and information on housing issues
- provide specialist support to homeless people
- help people applying for affordable housing
- work with our housing association partners to develop new affordable homes
- work with landlords and owners to improve existing private housing
- administer home improvement grants as well as loans and disability grants
We also aim to work in partnership with other agencies to tackle anti-social behaviour, nuisance and to reduce racial harassment and domestic violence. If you need help with any of the above please telephone 01454 868005.
