Suitable housing

Housing that Works for Local People

Housing is one of the biggest pressures facing families and individuals across the Island. In Rushen we need homes that local people of all ages can afford and that suit different stages of life.

More genuinely affordable homes for local families and young people.
Fairer and clearer rules for public sector housing.
Support for first-time buyers and those trying to stay in their own communities.
Suitable housing options for older residents who wish to downsize.
Protecting the character of our towns and villages while meeting genuine housing need.
Improving the quality of existing public sector housing, many older properties particularly in Rushen have serious damp and condition issues that need proper attention.
To work with the commissioners and government to see what practical solutions can be developed.
