Hull is taking another big step forward in tackling the city’s housing needs. The Council has successfully secured £180,000 in new funding through the Council Housebuilding Support Fund (CHSF), backed by the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government. It’s a significant win—and one that promises real impact for local residents.
This fresh investment will allow the Council to kick-start feasibility studies on 12 small, Council-owned sites dotted across the city. These studies are a crucial early stage in identifying which locations can be transformed into high-quality, affordable Council homes.
It also strengthens the Council’s wider commitment to delivering 840 new Council homes as part of the ambitious Housing Growth Plan. With demand for affordable housing continuing to rise, accelerating this work is more important than ever.
This funding isn’t just about planning—it’s about momentum. It’s about moving faster to deliver the homes Hull residents need and deserve.
A promising step forward for the city, and one that brings us closer to a future where more families have a safe, secure place to call home.
