Aligning our approach

This is not a stand-alone housing strategy, and it is important to acknowledge that success depends on effective collaboration across the council, our partners and people who live in Cumberland.

This is a key strategy which has been designed to be aligned with other key strategy documents that are focused on improving health and wellbeing and addressing inequalities, in particular:

• Cumberland Council Plan 2023 to 2027
• Adult Social Care and Housing Vision
• Homelessness Prevention and Rough Sleeping Strategy 2025 to 2030
• Home Adaptations and Assistance Policy 2025
• Cumbria Economic Strategy 2025 to 2045
• Joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2023 to 2028

And will influence the development or review of:

• Cumberland Local Plan
• Affordable Housing Policy and partnerships
• Cumbria Choice Allocations Policy
• Private sector enforcement policy
• Supported Accommodation Strategy
• Empty Homes Plan
• Accessibility Strategy
• Tenancy Strategy
• Sustainable Warmth and meeting Net Zero Targets
• Cumberland Care Review 2025
• Equality Objectives 2024 to 2028
• Community Engagement Framework
• Applying Corporate parenting principles
• Joint working protocol between ASCH and children's services
